Carpenter v. Yonkers Middle High School

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK KENSEENER CARPENTER, Plaintiff, -against- 24-CV-0474 (LTS) YONKERS MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL (DR. ORDER OF DISMISSAL JENKINS); CPS DEPARTMENT OF CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES; YONKERS POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated May 15, 2024, the Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within sixty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint, filed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), is dismissed for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 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 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 action. SO ORDERED. Dated: July 9, 2024 New York, New York
