Date Filed Document Text
March 28, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 8 CIVIL JUDGMENT: For the reasons stated in the March 28, 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. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/28/2024) (Attachments: #1 Appeal Package) (rro)
March 28, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNDER 28 U.S.C. 1651: Plaintiff originally filed this new action pro se in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, which transferred it here. Plaintiff alleges that on November 9, 2020, he was "detained" for trespass when he accompanied the process server attempting to serve his summons and complaint on the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, and that he was issued a "fake trespass notice." (ECF 1 at 3.) Plaintiff seeks in forma pauperis status and has not sought leave to bring this action. The Court therefore dismisses the action without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with the August 2, 2016 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 in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/28/2024) (rro)
March 28, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 6 STANDING ORDER M10-468 (24MC127) To ensure that all cases heard in the Southern District of New York are handled promptly and efficiently, all parties must keep the court apprised of any new contact information. It is a party's obligation to provide an address for service; service of court orders cannot be accomplished if a party does not update the court when a change of address occurs. Accordingly, all self-represented litigants are hereby ORDERED to inform the court of each change in their address or electronic contact information. Parties may consent to electronic service to receive notifications of court filings by email, rather than relying on regular mail delivery. Parties may also ask the court for permission to file documents electronically. Forms, including instructions for consenting to electronic service and requesting permission to file documents electronically, may be found by clicking on the hyperlinks in this order, or by accessing the forms on the court's website, nysd.uscourts.gov/forms. The procedures that follow apply only to cases filed by prose plaintiffs. If the court receives notice from the United States Postal Service that an order has been returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order. Such order will be sent to the plaintiffs last known address and will also be viewable on the court's electronic docket. A notice directing the parties' attention to this order shall be docketed (and mailed to any self-represented party that has appeared and has not consented to electronic service) upon the opening of each case or miscellaneous matter that is classified as pro se in the court's records. (Signed by Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/18/2024) (vba)
