October 18, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER OF SERVICE: The Court directs the Clerk of Court to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff, together with an information package. The Court dismisses Plaintiff's claims against City of Newburgh Police and directs the Clerk of Court to add the City of Newburgh as a defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 21. The Court also directs the Clerk of Court to: (1) issue summonses for Skoufis, Jacobson, and the City of Newburgh, complete USM-285 forms with the service addresses for those defendants, and deliver all documents necessary to effect service of summonses and the complaint on those defendants to the U.S. Marshals Service. 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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). So Ordered.
