The Court further directs the Clerk of Court to place the complaint under seal. The Clerk of Court is respectfully requested to terminate ECF No. 4. The Clerk of Court is also instructed to issue a summons, complete the USM-285 forms with the address for Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, and deliver all documents necessary to effect service to the U.S. Marshals Service. The Court directs Plaintiff, within 30 days, to provide the address where Defendant Kachalia may be served. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, and he cannot show good cause to excuse such failure, the Court will dismiss his claims against Defendant Kachalia without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is also directed to mail Plaintiff an information package. 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.
