MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: The complaint, filed in forma pauperis, alleging age discrimination is dismissed for failure to state a claim. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Plaintiff's request for pro bono counsel is denied without prejudice. How ever, the Court attaches to this Order information on the Federal Pro Se Legal Assistance Project in this District. In light of Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint to support her duty of fai r representation claim or any other employment discrimination claim based on a violation of a federal statute. The amended complaint must name as Defendants the union and/or the employer. Plaintiff must attach a copy of the employment discrimination charge she filed with the EEOC or state or city agency, if available. Plaintiff must provide the dates of all relevant acts as set forth above. If Plaintiff elects to file an amended complaint, it must be captioned "AMENDED COMPLAINT" and b ear the docket number 15-CV-4995 (PKC) (LB). If filed, the amended complaint shall replace the original complaint. All further proceedings shall be stayed for 30 days or until Plaintiff has complied with this order. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, judgment dismissing this action shall enter. If Plaintiff files an amended complaint, it shall be reviewed for substantive sufficiency pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). The Court certifies pursuant to 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. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Ordered by Judge Pamela K. Chen on 10/6/2015. (Abdallah, Fida)
