Date Filed Document Text
April 8, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this action against the United States Government alleging that she has been subjected to "harassment, stalking and defamation of character..."(ECF 1 at 2.) By order dated February 16, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to sign the signature page of the complaint and resubmit it. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. On March 29, 2024, the Court dismissed the action without prejudice to Plaintiff's refiling the suit. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). The Court thereafter received from Plaintiff the signature page of her in forma pauperis application. (ECF 7.) This submission is not responsive to the Court's order directing Plaintiff to sign the complaint, and therefore does not provide a basis for reopening this action. Moreover, the dismissal of this action without prejudice does not prevent Plaintiff from refiling her suit. 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. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 4/8/2024) (jca)

March 29, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER OF DISMISSAL: By order dated February 16, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to resubmit the signature page of the complaint with a signature. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not submitted the signed signature page. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a). 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).
