October 9, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION AND PRISONER AUTHORIZATION. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff, and note service on the docket. Within thirty days of the date of this order, Plaintiff must either pay the $400.00 in fees or submit the attached IFP application and prisoner authorization forms. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed without prejudice. The Court certifies under 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. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 10/9/2019) (rjm). Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
