January 9, 2024 Opinion or Order ORDER: On 12/15/2023, this Court denied Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. DE #4 . In that Order, this Court granted plaintiff fourteen days to either file the Long Form (enclosed therein) or remit the filing fee. Id. The Court also warned plaintiff that, upon failure to do so, the action "will be dismissed without prejudice." Id. The applicable deadline passed eleven days ago. Nonetheless, given Plaintiff's pro se status and the recent holidays that occurred during the relevant period, Plaintiff will be afforded one final opportunity to comply with the Court's prior Order. As such, plaintiff shall either file the Long Form or remit the filing fee by 1/19/2024.

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 any appeal.
