Date Filed Document Text
January 26, 2024 Received returned mail re: #3 Judgment - Sua Sponte (Complaint), #2 Order of Dismissal. Mail was addressed to Mark C. Christenson 11313 19th Ave. NE Seattle, WA 98125 and was returned for the following reason(s): ATTEMPTED NOT KNOWN - UNABLE TO FORWARD. (sc)
January 10, 2024 MAILING RECEIPT: Document No: 2-3. Mailed to: Mark C. Christenson 11313 19th Ave. NE Seattle, WA 98125. (mt)
January 9, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 3 CIVIL JUDGMENT: For the reasons stated in the January 5, 2024, 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 1/5/2024) (Attachments: #1 Pro Se Appeal Package) (mml)
January 5, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 2 ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNDER 28 U.S.C. 1651: On June 20, 2018, Plaintiff was barred from filing any new action in forma pauperis ("IFP") without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See Christenson v. Roe, ECF 1:18-CV-3319, 3 (S.D.N.Y. June 20, 2018). Plaintiff files this new pro se case, but he does not seek leave to proceed IFP nor does he pay the filing fees. The Court assumes for the purpose of this order that he seeks to proceed IFP. Because Plaintiff has not sought leave of the Court to file, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with the June 20, 2018 order. The Court certifies, pursuant to 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 1/5/2024) (mml)
