UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK REGINALD C. SPEARS, JR., Petitioner, 1:24-CV-6427 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL WARDEN JAMESON, F.C.I. OTISVILLE, Respondent. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated September 3, 2024, the Court directed Petitioner, within 30 days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP” or “IFP application”) or pay the $5.00 fee required to file a habeas corpus action in this court. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action. Petitioner has not filed an IFP application or paid the fee. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice. See

, 1915. The Court certifies, under

(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,

(1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). Because the petition makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See

. 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: November 7, 2024 New York, New York
