Howard v. New York City et al

Filing 7

ORDER OF DISMISSAL.... Accordingly, this action is dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). 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 I FP 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 a judgment dismissing this action. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 11/14/2023) (vfr)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

NEW YORK CITY, et al.,
Defendants.

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated September 8, 2023, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to
resubmit the signature pages of his in forma pauperis (“IFP”) application and prisoner
authorization with original signatures. That order specified that failure to comply would result in
dismissal of this action. Plaintiff has not submitted signed signature pages of his IFP application
and prisoner authorization. Accordingly, this action is dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 11(a).
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 a judgment dismissing this action.
SO ORDERED.
