Brown v. Nash
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK NKOSI S. BROWN, Plaintiff, 28-CV-2824 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL DWAYNE A. NASH, ET AL., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated April 18, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to resubmit the signature pages of the complaint and application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) with an original signature. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint.1 Plaintiff has not submitted the signed signature page. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). 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). SO ORDERED. Dated: May 21, 2024 New York, New York
