Wallace v. United States Constitution
Wallace v. United States Constitution
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK KENYETTA WALLACE, Plaintiff, 25-CV-4980 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, UNDER
28 U.S.C. § 1651Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff Kenyetta Wallace, proceeding under the names “Heiress Kenyatta T. Zepporah Reign” and “Heiress Kenyatta T. Zepporak Reign,” has previously filed multiple frivolous actions in this court. On April 2, 2018, then-Chief Judge Colleen McMahon barred Plaintiff from filing any new civil action in this court in forma pauperis (“IFP”) without first obtaining from the court leave to file. See Zepporah Reign v. The Crown Office, ECF 1:17-CV-9985, 7 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 2, 2018), appeal dismissed as frivolous, No. 18-1319 (2d Cir. Nov. 14, 2018); see also
id.,ECF 1:17-CV-9985, 3 (document filed by “Heiress Kenyetta T. Zepporah Reign” identifying herself as Kenyetta Wallace). Plaintiff files this new pro se case, seeks IFP status, and has not sought leave from the court. The Court therefore dismisses the action without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the April 2, 2018 bar order in Zepporah Reign, ECF 1:17-CV- 9985, 7. The Court certifies, pursuant to
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. See Coppedge v. United States,
369 U.S. 438, 444-45(1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: June 24, 2025 New York, New York
