UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DANNY AMEN VALENTINE SHABAZZ ET AL., Petitioners, 24-CV-9891 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL PARAMOUNT GLOBAL, Respondents. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: The Court received a submission from Petitioner on December 20, 2024, that is captioned for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). (ECF 1.) The Court treated this document as a petition and opened a new civil action under this docket number. On December 31, 2024, the Court received a letter from Plaintiff, advising the Court that he wishes to withdraw the petition because it was intended to be filed only with the FCC, not the district court. (ECF 3.) Accordingly, the petition is voluntarily dismissed under Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this action. The Court certifies under

(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). SO ORDERED. Dated: January 3, 2025 New York, New York
