Blanco v. Federal Government (HHS)
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK CARLITA BLANCO, Plaintiff, 24-CV-8202 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (HHS), ET AL, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated October 31, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to pay the $405.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court or submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”). That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the fees or filed an IFP application. Accordingly, 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 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). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in this case. SO ORDERED. Dated: December 2, 2024 New York, New York
