District Court, S.D. New York

Rodriguez v. New York

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK RUDOLFO RODRIGUEZ, Plaintiff, 25-CV-0350 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL NEW YORK, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated January 24, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) or pay the $5.00 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 IFP application 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). Because the petition makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See

28 U.S.C. § 2253

. The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in this case. SO ORDERED. Dated: March 24, 2025 New York, New York
