September 25, 2019 Mailed a copy of #3 Order Directing Payment of Fee or IFP Application, to Paul Azzara 6 Balmoral Drive Chestnut Ridge, NY 10977. (vba)
September 24, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION: Plaintiff brings this pro se Action in which he seeks relief under Fed. R. Crim. P. 41(g). To proceed with a civil action in this Court, a plaintiff must either pay $400.00 in fees-a $350.00 filing fee plus a $50.00 administrative fee--or, to request authorization to proceed without prepayment of fees, submit a signed in forma pauperis ("IFP") application. See 28 U.S.C. 1914, 1915. Plaintiff submitted his Complaint (his Motion seeking relief under Fed. Crim. P. 41 (g)) without the relevant fees or an IFP application. Within thirty days of the date of this Order, Plaintiff must either pay the $400.00 in fees or submit the attached IFP application. If Plaintiff submits the IFP application, it should be labeled with docket number 7:19-CV-8751 (KMK). If the Court grants the IFP application, Plaintiff will be permitted to proceed without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. No answer shall be required at this time. If Plaintiff complies with this Order, the case shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the Clerk's Office. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this Order within the time allowed, the Action will be dismissed. 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) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). Filing Fee due by 10/24/2019. In Forma Pauperis (IFP) Application due by 10/24/2019. (Signed by Judge Kenneth M. Karas on 9/24/2019) (rj) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing. Modified on 9/25/2019 (rj). (Additional attachment(s) added on 9/25/2019: #1 IFP Attachment) (rj). Modified on 11/4/2019 (rj).
