Keita v. American Security Insurance Company

Filing 36

MEMORANDUM & ORDER DISMISSING CASE: For the reasons stated in the attached M & O, all claims are dismissed, without prejudice for want of subject matter jurisdiction, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Although leave to amend his federa l complaint is denied, plaintiff does, of course, have leave to file state claims in a state court of appropriate jurisdiction, if as forewarned of their dubious substantive merit, he believes he can do so in good faith.The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any appeal would not be taken in good faith, and, therefore, in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45, 82 S. Ct. 917, 920-21, 8 L. Ed. 2 d 21 (1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this memorandum and order to plaintiff, to enter judgment accordingly, and to close this case for administrative purposes. Accordingly, the follow motions are terminated as moot: 28 Letter MOTION to Dismiss the Amended Complaint for failure to prosecute filed by American Security Insurance Company, 11 Letter MOTION for pre motion conference re Order on Motion for Extension of Time to File, filed by Weisbrod Matteis & Copley PLLC, 22 Letter MOTION for pre motion conference re 20 Amended Complaint, filed by Weisbrod Matteis & Copley PLLC.
