December 16, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 20 MEMO ENDORSEMENT on re: #19 Letter filed by Purushottam C. Kalola. ENDORSEMENT: In the attached letter dated December 4, 2019, plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, seeks permission to use electronic case filing. (Doc. #19). Plaintiff also requests reconsideration of the Court's November 21, 2019, Order rejecting plaintiffs USB flash drive submission. (Id.). On November 15, 2019, the Court denied without prejudice plaintiffs first motion for permission to use electronic case filing because plaintiff did not indicate completion of the Court's CM/ECF introduction course. (Doc. # 16). In the instant letter, plaintiff indicates he completed the introduction course on December 3, 2019. (Doc. #19 at 4). Accordingly, plaintiff's request for permission to use electronic case filing is GRANTED. However, plaintiff's request for reconsideration of the Court's November 21 Order (Doc. #17) is DENIED as patently meritless. To the extent plaintiff requests any further relief, such request is DENIED. 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 Clerk further is instructed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Vincent L. Briccetti on 12/16/2019) (mml) Transmission to Docket Assistant Clerk for processing.

To be clear, the Court will not accept from plaintiff any further submissions respecting the pending motion to dismiss. The Clerk is instructed to mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff. SO ORDERED.
