Khanna v. United States District Court for the Southern District of New York

Filing 8

ORDER terminating 7 Motion re: 7 MOTION REFUSAL FOR CAUSE. This morning, Khanna Pugach, appearing prose, filed a "motion for cause" in this closed miscellaneous case. Dkt. 7. Much like his earlier submissions, the instant " ;motion" is difficult to parse; Pugach again appears to be seeking the return of various New Jersey tax liabilities and a lien on debt collectors acting on the state's behalf. As the Court explained in its earlier order, such claims do not fit any of the listed categories of miscellaneous matters, and thus this case cannot proceed under the miscellaneous docket. Dkt. 4. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate any pending motions; this case remains closed. The Co urt certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order 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 (1962). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 2/6/2024) (tg)
