Date Filed Document Text
January 5, 2024 Opinion or Order ORDER On December 1, 2023, the Court dismissed Plaintiff's complaint without prejudice and with leave to amend because the complaint failed to allege a proper basis for this Court's subject matter jurisdiction. The Court ordered Plaintiff to file any amended complaint by December 29, 2023. That deadline has since passed and Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, Plaintiff must file any amended complaint by February 2, 2024. Failure to do so may result in dismissal for failure to prosecute pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff. Ordered by Judge Nusrat J. Choudhury on 1/5/2024. (DE)

December 1, 2023 Opinion or Order ORDER The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), ECF No. #2 , and grants the application. The Court has also reviewed Plaintiff's complaint, ECF No. 1 , which does not allege a proper basis for this Court's subject matter jurisdiction. The parties are not diverse and Plaintiff does not plead a federal claim. As a result, and in light of Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's complaint without prejudice and with leave to amend. Any amended complaint shall be filed by December 29, 2023.The Court encourages Plaintiff to consult with the Hofstra Law Pro Se Clinic located in the Central Islip Courthouse, which can provide free information, advice, and limited scope legal assistance to non-incarcerated pro se litigants.

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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v.
