Heights in Paris LLC v. Almanzar

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK HEIGHTS IN PARIS LLC, Plaintiff, 22-CV-3224 (LTS) -against- ORDER BELCALIS ALMANZAR; GOOGLE LLC; HENNESSY ALMANZAR, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated May 3, 2022, the Court dismissed this action without prejudice to Plaintiff “Heights in Paris” retaining counsel within 30 days. The Court explained that Heights in Paris could not proceed pro se. (See ECF 3) (“Corporations, nonprofit organizations, and other artificial entities cannot proceed pro se.”). On May 9, 2022, Heights in Paris, proceeding pro se, filed an amended complaint, listing itself as “Glotsip, LLC d/b/a Heights in Paris.” (See ECF 5.) Counsel has not appeared on Plaintiff’s behalf. As counsel has not appeared on behalf of Plaintiff, the Court orders that the action be closed. Should counsel appear on Plaintiff’s behalf, he or she may move to reopen this action. The Court directs the Clerk of Court to terminate all pending motions in this case, including the motion for permission for electronic filing (ECF 8). 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 appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Dated: June 16, 2022 New York, New York
