2008 WL 255737

, at *3 (N.D. Fla. June 23, 2008). The petition was submitted without the filing fee or an IFP application. Within thirty days of the date of this order, Petitioner’s next friend must either pay the $5.00 filing fee or complete and submit the attached IFP application. Payment of the fee should be mailed to the following address: United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Cashiers- Room 260, 500 Pearl Street, New York, NY 10007. Payment of the fees by mail must (1) be made by money order or certified check; (2) be made payable to: Clerk, USDC, SDNY; and (3) include the docket number listed above. Personal checks are not accepted. Payment of the fees also can be made in person at the courthouse by credit card, money order, certified check, or cash. Ifthe IFP application is submitted, it should be labeled with docket number 25-CV-8856 (VSB). If Petitioner 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 IFP 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: = 10/27/2025 New York, New York I smear Boden.d) VERNON BRODERICK United States District Judge
