UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ARIEL LEBRON VELAZQEUZ, Plaintiff, 1:25-CV-6726 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, et al., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated August 21, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP” or “IFP” application”) 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 this action. Plaintiff has not filed an IFP application or paid the fees. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice and denies all pending requests and motions for relief as moot. 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). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reason set forth in this order. SO ORDERED. Dated: October 30, 2025 New York, New York
