UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK RENEE WILLIAMS, Plaintiff, 25-CV-7648 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL THE BROOKLYN DEFENDERS, ET AL., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated September 17, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed prisoner authorization, or pay the $405.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court. The Court noted that if Plaintiff was not a prisoner within the meaning of the applicable definition,

(h), she could instead submit a declaration so indicating. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed a prisoner authorization, paid the fees, or submitted a declaration about her status as a prisoner.1 Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See

, 1915. The Court certifies under

(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,

(1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). Judgment shall enter. Dated: October 20, 2025 New York, New York
