Jones v. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company

Filing 4

ORDER granting 2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND WITH LEAVE TO AMEND BY APRIL 2, 2013 -- For the reasons set forth in the ATTACHED WRITTEN SUMMARY ORDER, the complaint is dismissed witho ut prejudice to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff must file any amended complaint NO LATER THAN APRIL 2, 2013. In any amended complaint, Plaintiff must use the same docket number currently assigned to this action, 13-cv-293. For Plaintiff' s convenience, "Instructions on How to Amend a Complaint" are attached. In addition to pleading any facts to support subject matter jurisdiction, Plaintiff also must plead facts supporting his assertion that the mortgage loan at issue was fraudulent or predatory. If Plaintiff files an amended complaint, Plaintiff must also file a renewed in forma pauperis ("IFP")request using the long form application attached to this Order, and must include detailed information as t o income he receives from any sources, including government benefits, and his monthly expenses. If Plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint by April 2, 2013, this action will be dismissed with prejudice. The court certifies pursuant to 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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Clerk of the Court is direc ted to hold the closing of this case in abeyance pending plaintiff's compliance with this Order, and to mail a copy of this Electronic Order as well as the Attached Written Summary Order, Instructions on How to Amend a Complaint, and IFP Long Form Application. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 3/1/2013. (Attachments: # 1 Supplement, # 2 Supplement) (Irizarry, Dora)
