Clifton v. The State of New York

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK BRANDON DE’AUNDRE CLIFTON, Plaintiff, 23-CV-10257 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL STATE OF NEW YORK, ET AL., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated April 3, 2024, the Court granted Plaintiff one final opportunity to file an amended complaint. That order specified that failure to file an amended complaint within 30 days would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint, filed in forma pauperis (IFP) under

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(a)(1), is dismissed under

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(ii). 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 Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in this case. SO ORDERED. Dated: May 6, 2024 New York, New York
