UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

IN RE: MICHAEL BUXBAUM

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
Plaintiff Michael Buxbaum, acting pro se, has filed more than fifty actions since
December 9, 2024, and the Court has issued dozens of orders directing Plaintiff either to pay the
filing fees or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Some of Plaintiff’s
actions have already been dismissed for failure to pay the fees and others have been dismissed as
duplicative. See, e.g., Buxbaum v. Zillow Group, Inc., No. 25-CV-0297 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 17,
2025); Buxbaum v. Zillow Group, Inc., No. 25-CV-0225 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 13, 2025);
Buxbaum v. Sommer, No. 24-CV-10080 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 9, 2025); Buxbaum v. Intuit, No.
24-CV-10060 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 7, 2025); Buxbaum v. Chase, No. 24-CV-9388 (LTS)
(S.D.N.Y. Jan 22, 2025).
The Court finds that, based on the multiple deficiency orders that the court has issued,
Plaintiff is on notice of the filing fee requirements. Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action
without prejudice to reopening upon Plaintiff’s submission of the filing fees or an IFP
application, within 30 days of the date of docketing this order.
CONCLUSION
The Clerk of Court is directed to assign this matter to my docket. This action is dismissed
without prejudice to reopening upon Plaintiff’s submission of the filing fee or an IFP application,
within 30 days of the date of docketing this order.

The Clerk of Court is further directed to docket this order in any action that Plaintiff files
pro se without prepayment of the filing fees or an IFP application.
SO ORDERED.
