April 24, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 41 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE. By May 12, 2023, Plaintiff is ORDERED to show cause, via further written submission, why the Amended Complaint should not be dismissed for the foregoing reasonsnamely, why Plaintiff's claims against the DOJ, the FBI, Attorney General Garland, Director Wray, and U.S. Attorney Williams should not be dismissed under the doctrine of sovereign immunity; why his claims under 18 U.S.C. 242, 42 U.S.C. 1983, 42 U.S.C. 1985, 42 U.S.C. 1986, the Fourth Amendment, the Ninth Amendment, and the ECPA should not be dismissed as frivolous; why his claims against Mayor Adams should not be dismissed as duplicative of the claims brought against the City of New York; why his claims against New York Attorney General James should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim; and why his claims under the Second Amendment against the City of New York should not be dismissed because he lacks standing to bring them. Summonses have issued in this action and Plaintiff has filed proof of service. Defendants are directed not to respond to the Amended Complaint. Should Plaintiff successfully show cause why his Amended Complaint should not be dismissed, the Court will set a schedule at that time. 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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 4/24/23) (yv)
