Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
STEPHANIE LEA JACKSON,
Plaintiff,
-against- 25-CV-7146 (LTS)
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; ORDER OF DISMISSAL
ALMADOVAR; CRUZ; MILLER;
McKENZIE,
Defendants.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated August 29, 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. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint.
Plaintiff has not filed a prisoner authorization or paid the fees. 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: October 31, 2025
New York, New York
