West v. Human Resources Administration Department of Social Services/Department of Homeless Services
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK CARMEN MARIA WEST, Plaintiff, -against- 24-CV-3427 (LTS) HUMAN RESOURCES ADMINISTRATION ORDER OF DISMISSAL DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES; DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESS SERVICES, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated May 6, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to resubmit the signature page of the in forma pauperis application with an original signature. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not submitted the signed signature page. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). The Court certifies under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States,
369 U.S. 438, 444-45(1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Dated: June 24, 2024 New York, New York
