November 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH LEAVE TO REPLEAD: Plaintiff's claims against the New York State DOL are dismissed based on Eleventh Amendment immunity, and his claims against the United States DOL are dismissed based on sovereign immunity, 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(iii). Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint that complies with the standards set forth above. Plaintiff must submit the amended complaint 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 23-CV-8004 (LTS). An Amended Complaint form is attached to this order. No summons will issue at this time. If Plaintiff fails to comply within the time allowed, and he cannot show good cause to excuse such failure, the Court will enter judgment dismissing the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 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). SO ORDERED.
