Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
RICKY MOTT,
Plaintiff,
-against-
25-CV-5451 (LTS)
JUDGE JEFFREY S. ZELAN; MR.
GALLEGO; MR. SCHELL; DEEANDRA ORDER OF DISMISSAL
HARDY; REGUS CITY MANAGER; PARK
HOUSE PLAZA LLC; SECURITY
PERSONNEL,
Defendants.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated July 8, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to provide a
current address and to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) or pay
the $405.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court. That order specified that failure to
comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an IFP application or
paid the fees or provided a current address. 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 29, 2025
New York, New York
