Koksvik v. Minutolo
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK PAUL D. KOKSVIK, Plaintiff, 1:24-CV-5229 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL SHANNON T. MINUTOLO, et al., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated July 22, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP” or “IFP application”) or pay the $405.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action. While Plaintiff has filed submissions in response to that order, he has not filed an IFP application or paid the fees. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice. See
28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. 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, IFP 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). All requests are denied as moot. The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reason set forth in this order. SO ORDERED. Dated: September 27, 2024 New York, New York
