Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AYOTUNJI AKINLAWON, Plaintiff, 24-CV-8529 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL, ET AL., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated November 13, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit an updated prisoner authorization 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 filed an updated prisoner authorization or paid the fees. 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 in this case. SO ORDERED. Dated: January 17, 2025 New York, New York
