Taebel v. American Civil Liberties Union
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK MITCHELL TAEBEL, Plaintiff, 24cv6406 (LTS) -against- CIVIL JUDGMENT AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION, Defendant. For the reasons stated in the November 7, 2024, order, this action is dismissed. By order dated September 5, 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. Plaintiff 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 the 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). SO ORDERED. Dated: November 12, 2024 New York, New York
