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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at Dkt. No. 3 and to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiffs by certified and first-class mail. (Signed by Judge Gregory H. Woods on 6/22/2018) (mro) [Transferred from New York Southern on 9/17/2018.]

June 21, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: Accordingly, the Court is inclined to transfer this case to the Eastern District of New York pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1406(a). See id. ("The district court of a district in which is filed a case laying venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, transfer such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought."). Plaintiffs are therefore ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE no later than July 6, 2018 as to why this action should not be transferred to the Eastern District of New York. In the alternative, if Plaintiffs are willing to transfer this action to the Eastern District of New York to be litigated in a courthouse closer to their home in Brooklyn, the Court requests that they submit a letter to the Court stating that they consent to the transfer of this action to the Eastern District of New York by July 6, 2018. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiffs, by certified and first-class mail. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Gregory H.
