Taylor v. City of New York
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ROY TAYLOR, Plaintiff, 1:24-CV-1922 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL CITY OF NEW YORK, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated and entered March 15, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to submit a completed and signed 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 a completed and signed 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 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 denies any pending motions or requests as moot and directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reason set forth in this order. The Court also directs the Clerk of Court to mail a copy of this order and the accompanying judgment to Plaintiff at his address of record and at 89 Porter Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11237. SO ORDERED. Dated: May 20, 2024 New York, New York
