April 10, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 4 CIVIL JUDGMENT: For the reasons stated in the April 10, 2023, order, this action is dismissed. 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.

April 10, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER OF DISMISSAL: Plaintiff proceeds pro se. He brings this action alleging that restrictions have been placed on access to documents that he filed in his pending suit, Torres v. U.S. Department of Justice, No. 23-CV-0945 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y.). He seeks access to view the documents that he has filed in that action. The Court directs the Clerk of Court to file the document that is styled as a complaint in this action (ECF 1) as a motion in the suit pending under docket number, 23-CV-0945. Because relief is available, if at all, in that suit, the Court dismisses this action as duplicative, without prejudice to Plaintiff's pursuing relief in the suit under docket number, 23-CV-0945. 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). Judgement shall enter. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 4/10/2023) (nb)
