Torres v. Doe

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ALEXIS TORRES, Plaintiff, 25-CV-4972 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL DOE, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated June 18, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) and prisoner authorization or pay the $405.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court, and to file a signed copy of the complaint. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an IFP application and prisoner authorization or paid the fees, and he has not filed a signed complaint. 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: August 18, 2025 New York, New York
