Brandon Lewis v. United States Marshals Service (Officers), et al.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK BRANDON LEWIS, Plaintiff, -against- 25-CV-6491 (LTS) UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE ORDER OF DISMISSAL (OFFICERS), et al., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated September 9, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a Notice of Change of Address because he did not update his address with the court, as required by the court’s March 18, 2024 Standing Order, requiring all self-represented litigants to inform the court of each change of address or electronic contact information. See In Re: Cases Filed By Pro Se Plaintiffs, This Matter Relates To: Duty of Self-Represented Parties to Keep Address Information Current, No. 24-MC-127 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2024) (“Standing Order”). Plaintiff has not updated his address or otherwise communicated with the court. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action, under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, for failure to comply with the March 18, 2024 Standing Order. This dismissal is without prejudice to Plaintiff’s filing a new civil action. 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 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 action. SO ORDERED. Dated: October 22, 2025 New York, New York /s/ Laura Taylor Swain LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN Chief United States District Judge
