UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JASON WIMBERLY, Plaintiff, -against- 1:24-CV-7644 (LTS) NY COMMUNITY FINANCIAL, LLC d/b/a ORDER OF DISMISSAL THE CHECK CASHING PLACE AKA CFSC CHECK CASHING, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff, who is appearing pro se, brings this action under the court’s federal question jurisdiction and supplemental jurisdiction. For the reason set forth below, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice. On October 4, 2024, Plaintiff filed a complaint in this court commencing Wimberly v. NY Cmty. Fin., LLC, 1:24-CV-7547 (AS), a civil action that is pending before District Judge Arun Subramanian of this court. On that same date, Plaintiff filed the complaint commencing this action; it is virtually identical to the complaint filed in Wimberly, 1:24-CV-7547 (AS). As the complaint filed in this action raises the same claims as those raised in Wimberly, 1:24-CV-7547 (AS), no useful purpose would be served by litigating this action. The Court therefore dismisses this action without prejudice as duplicative of Wimberly, 1:24-CV-7547 (AS). CONCLUSION The Court dismisses this action without prejudice as duplicative of Wimberly, 1:24-CV- 7547 (AS). Because the Court dismisses this action, the Court vacates its October 17, 2024 order in this action directing Plaintiff to, within 30 days, either pay the fees to bring this action or submit an in forma pauperis application. (ECF 3.) The Court certifies, pursuant to

(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. See Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). 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: October 22, 2024 New York, New York
