Given that the Plaintiff has been unable to provid e the USMS with an address at which P.O. Marcantonio can be served, and their efforts to serve P.O.

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 purpose of an appeal.
