August 29, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER: Plaintiff, proceeding pro se and anonymously, requests to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docs. 1011.) This request is DENIED.

Plaintiff is directed to pay the filing fee by September 18, 2023. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 8/29/2023) (rro)
August 25, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 11 REQUEST TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS. Document filed by John Doe. (sac)
August 25, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER Plaintiff, currently proceeding pro se and anonymously, has filed two identical actions in this District, this action ("Doe I"), and an identically named action under docket number 23-cv-07497 ("Doe II"). Plaintiff has filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis in Doe II, No. 23-cv-07497, Doc. 5, but not in Doe I. Plaintiff has not paid filing fees in either action, and on August 22, 2023, I issued a deficiency warning in Doe I. Given Plaintiffs pro se status, and in the interest of judicial economy, I will consider the in forma pauperis application made in Doe II in this action. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to docket the document in Doe II, No. 23-cv-07497, Doc. 5, in this action. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 8/25/2023) (jca) Transmission to Office of the Clerk of Court for processing.
August 22, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION: On July 24, 2023, Plaintiff filed this action, utilizing the court's email system, which provides parties initiating new civil actions 21 days to submit the $402.00 filing fees a $350.00 filing fee plus a $52.00 administrative fee. If a party intends to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"), by requesting authorization to proceed without payment of fees under 28 U.S.C. 1914-1915, an IFP application is generally filed at the time the new civil action is filed. Plaintiff did not submit an IFP application with the complaint, and 21 days have passed since the complaint was filed. Thus, within thirty days of the date of this order, Plaintiff must either pay the $402.00 in fees or submit the attached IFP application. If Plaintiff submits the IFP application, it should be labeled with docket number 23-CV-6395 (VSB). If the Court grants the IFP application, Plaintiff will be permitted to proceed without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1915. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed. 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, 44445 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Filing Fee due by 9/21/2023. In Forma Pauperis (IFP) Application due by 9/21/2023. (Signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick on 8/22/2023) (rro)
