Date Filed Document Text
February 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 4 CIVIL JUDGMENT: IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that under the June 30, 2015 order in Witherspoon v. Rivera, No. 15-CV-4328 (LAP) (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2015), the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the Court's judgment would not be taken in good faith. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court mail a copy of this judgment to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 2/24/2022) (Attachments: #1 Pro Se Appeal Package) (sac) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
February 24, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER OF DISMISSAL: On June 30, 2015, Plaintiff was barred from filing any new action in forma pauperis (IFP) without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See Witherspoon v. Rivera, No. 15-CV-4328 (LAP) (S.D.N.Y. June 30, 2015). Plaintiff files this new pro se case, seeks IFP status, and has not sought leave from the Court. This action is therefore dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with the June 30, 2015 order. The Clerk of Court is directed to assign this matter to my docket, mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff, and note service on the docket. This order closes the action. 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 an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 2/24/2022) (sac) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.
