Frederick v. United States
Frederick v. United States
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ROBERT MICHAEL FREDERICK, Plaintiff, 24-CV-1626 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL U.S.A., Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated March 4, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to (1) resubmit the signature page of the complaint with an original signature; and (2) submit a completed and signed amended request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) 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 the complaint. Plaintiff has not complied with the Court’s March 4, 2024 order. 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. SO ORDERED. Dated: April 18, 2024 New York, New York
