November 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 14 CIVIL JUDGMENT. For the reasons stated in the November 6, 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. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 11/7/23) (yv) Modified on 11/7/2023 (yv).
November 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 13 BAR ORDER UNDER 28 U.S.C. 1651 re: #1 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus filed by Rafael Arden Jones. The Court hereby bars Petitioner from filing future habeas corpus petitions challenging his ongoing criminal proceedings, arising from a September 14, 2021 arrest, IFP in this court without first obtaining from the court leave to file. See 28 U.S.C. 1651. Petitioner must attach a copy of his proposed habeas corpus petition and a copy of this order to any motion seeking leave to file. The motion must be filed with the Pro Se Intake Unit of this court. If Petitioner violates this order and files an action without filing a motion for leave to file, the action will be dismissed for failure to comply with this order. Petitioner is further warned that the continued submission of nonmeritorious documents may result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including monetary penalties. See id. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this action and terminate any motions in this case. Petitioner remains barred under 28 U.S.C. 1651, from filing any new action IFP without first obtaining leave to file, Jones v. Stewart, ECF 16-CV-2375, 9 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 25, 2016), and under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g), from bringing any new civil action IFP while he is a prisoner, Jones v. Police Officer Jane Doe, ECF 1:21-CV-9199, 15 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 16, 2021). 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, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment in this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 11/6/23) (yv) Modified on 11/7/2023 (yv).
