EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK U.S. DISTRICT COURT -------------------------------------------------------------------X EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK JARED HARDY, LONG ISLAND OFFICE

Plaintiff, MEMORANDUM & ORDER -against- 25-CV-1775 (GRB)(JMW)

ANTHONY LAROCCA, et al.,

Defendants. -------------------------------------------------------------------X GARY R. BROWN, United States District Judge: Before the Court is the application filed by Jared Hardy (“Plaintiff”), who is incarcerated and acting pro se, to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). (Docket Entry (“DE”) 5.) Upon review, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s financial position as reported on the application qualifies him to commence this action without prepayment of the filing fee. Accordingly, the renewed IFP application is granted and the Court orders service of the summonses and complaint upon the defendants by the United States Marshal Service in accordance with

(d). Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court shall issue a summons to each defendant and shall forward the summonses together with copies of the complaint and this Order to the USMS. Once complete, the USMS shall promptly file returns of service with the Court. The Court certifies pursuant to

(a)(3) that any appeal 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). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to serve a copy of this order to Plaintiff at the address of record and note service on the docket. SO ORDERED.
