Whitehead v. Universal Pictures

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DAVID LOUIS WHITEHEAD, Plaintiff, 25cv5433 (LTS) -against- CIVIL JUDGMENT UNIVERSAL PICTURES, ET AL, Defendants.

For the reasons stated in the August 26, 2025, order, this action is dismissed. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the Court’s judgment 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).

SO ORDERED.
