Lewis v. American Express Co.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JAMES D. LEWIS, Plaintiff, 24cv6626 (LTS) -against- CIVIL JUDGMENT AMERICAN EXPRESS CO., ET AL., Defendants.

For the reasons stated in the November 12, 2024, order, this action is dismissed. The complaint is dismissed 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.
