Hussey v. John Doe/Jane Doe

Filing 4

ORDER OF DISMISSAL: By order dated April 12, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") or pay the $405.00 in fees required to file a civil action in t his court. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an IFP application or paid the fees. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1 914, 1915. 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 judgment. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 6/3/2024) (ks)
