Williams v. City of New York

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NATALIE E. WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, 24-CV-4283 (LTS) -against- ORDER CITY OF NEW YORK, ET AL., Defendants.

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff brings this action pro se. Because Plaintiff submitted the complaint without a signature, by order dated June 10, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a signed copy of the signature page of the complaint within 30 days. (ECF 4.) Plaintiff has not submitted a signed signature page. It has come to the Court’s attention, however, that its June 10, 2024 order was not mailed to Plaintiff.

The Court therefore directs the Clerk of Court to mail a copy of the Court’s June 10, 2024 order (ECF 4), along with a copy of this order, to Plaintiff at her address of record. The Court grants Plaintiff a 30-day extension of time to comply with its previous order. Plaintiff is directed to submit the signature page of the complaint with an original signature to the court within 30 days of the date of this order. A copy of the signature page is attached to this order.

No summons shall issue at this time. If Plaintiff complies with this order, the case shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the Clerk’s Office. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed.

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: September 18, 2024 New York, New York /s/ Laura Taylor Swain LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN Chief United States District Judge V. PLAINTIFF’S CERTIFICATION AND WARNINGS By signing below, I certify to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief that: (1) the complaint is not being presented for an improper purpose (stich as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation); (2) the claims are supported □ by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument to change existing law; (3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and (4) the complaint otherwise complies with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11.

I agree to notify the Clerk's Office in writing of any changes to my mailing address. I understand that my failure to keep a current address on file with the Clerk's Office may result in the dismissal of my case.
