Trial Court Opinion

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
LEROY HANNA,
Plaintiff,

-against-
ORDER DIRECTING SIGNATURE
BRC JACK RYAN SHELTER,
Defendant.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
Plaintiff brings this action pro se. The complaint and letters (ECF 5&6) that Plaintiff
submitted are unsigned. Rule 11(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that
“[e]very pleading, written motion, and other paper must be signed . . . by a party personally if the
party is unrepresented.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a); see Becker v. Montgomery, 532 U.S. 757, 764
(2001) (interpreting Rule 11(a) to require, “as it did in John Hancock’s day, a name handwritten
(or a mark handplaced)”).
Plaintiff is directed to sign and submit the attached signature pages within 30 days of the
date of this order. No summons or answer shall issue at this time. If Plaintiff complies with this
order, the case shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the Clerk’s Office. If
Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed
without prejudice.
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 in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an
appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962) (holding that appellant
demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue).
SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 27, 2025
New York, New York

V. PLAINTIFF’S CERTIFICATION AND WARNINGS
By signing below, I certify to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief that: (1) the
complaint is not being presented for an improper purpose (such as to harass, cause
unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation); (2) the claims are supported
by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument to change existing law; (3) the factual
contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have
evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery;
and (4) the complaint otherwise complies with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 11.
I agree to notify the Clerk's Office in writing of any changes to my mailing address. I
understand that my failure to keep a current address on file with the Clerk's Office may
result in the dismissal of my case.
Each Plaintiff must sign and date the complaint. Attach additional pages if necessary. If seeking to
proceed without prepayment of fees, each plaintiff must also submit an IFP application.
