July 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER OF DISMISSAL: The Court dismisses Plaintiff's claim under 42 U.S.C. 1983 against Westchester Correctional Center on the ground that this entity lacks the capacity to be sued. The Court dismisses Plaintiff's FTCA claim against the United States based on sovereign immunity. 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(iii). The Clerk of Court is directed not to enter judgment and to hold this matter open on the docket for 30 days in order to provide Plaintiff an opportunity to file an amended complaint as set forth herein. If Plaintiff wishes to file an amended complaint, he must submit it to this Court's Pro Se Intake Unit within 30 days of the date of this order, caption the document as an "Amended Complaint," and label the document with docket number 22-CV-4974 (LTS). An Amended Complaint form is attached to this order. No summons will issue at this time. If Plaintiff does not file an amended complaint within the time allowed, the Court will enter judgment as set forth herein. 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 an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
