ANALISA TORRES, United States District Judge: Nonparty David George Sweigert has filed a number of documents, including a notice of related litigation, two declarations, an “amicus curiae brief,” and two affidavits. No. 21-CV- 10878, Docs. 2-8. Nonparties are not permitted to file documents in a case unless they have been granted permission to intervene under Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Because David George Sweigert is a nonparty, and he has not been granted permission to file documents in this case, the Clerk of Court is directed to strike these documents from the docket. (ECF Nos. 2-8.) The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff Jason Goodman and to David George Sweigert and note service on the docket.

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.
