PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, United States District Judge:
Eva Magdalena Chalco Chango, acting as next friend for Petitioner Carlos Andres
Chalco-Beltran (“Chalco-Beltran”), filed the above-captioned petition for a writ of habeas
corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. Dkt. 1 (“Petition”). To proceed with a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus in this court, a petitioner’s next friend must either pay the $5.00 filing fee or, to
request authorization to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”), submit a signed IFP application. See
28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.1
The Petition was submitted without the filing fee or an IFP application. Within 30 days
- of the date of this order, Chalco-Beltran’s next friend, Eva Magdalena Chalco Chango, 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
1 «TT The person wishing to appear as ‘next friend’ must pay the filing fee or submit a
motion to proceed [IFP]” Roberts v. McDonough, No. 3:08 Civ 245, 2008 WL 255737, at *3
(N.D. Fla. June 23, 2008) (Timothy, M.J.).
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-9208 (PAE).
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 vy. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates
good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue).
The Court encourages Chalco-Beltran’s next friend, Eva Magdalena Chalco Chango, to
consent to accept service of documents in this case by email by completing the attached form,
Consent to Electronic Service.”
The Clerk of Court has listed on the docket the mailing address provided for Eva
Magdalena Chalco Chango in another petition in this District that she has filed as a next friend.
See Carlos Anibal Chalco-Beltran v. LaDeon Francis et al., 25 Civ. 9205 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 4,
2025). Magdalena Chalco Chango has a different mailing address, she must provide this
address to the Court.
