UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK LUIS JAIME, Plaintiff, -against- 24-CV-4091 (LTS) NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ORDER CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION, et al., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, is currently incarcerated in Upstate Correctional Facility. By order dated November 14, 2024, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), (iii), with 30 days’ leave to replead. On December 2, 2024, Plaintiff submitted a “motion for leave to replead,” in which he states that he is seeking counsel to represent him in this action and includes some facts that he apparently intends to plead in an amended complaint. The Court construes Plaintiff’s application (ECF 9) as a request for an extension of time to file an amended complaint and grants the request. The Court directs Plaintiff to file his amended complaint, if any, within 30 days of the date of this order. The Court encourages Plaintiff, if he continues to proceed pro se, to use the attached amended complaint form. Plaintiff’s amended complaint should be legibly written or typed, and should include facts about who violated his federally protected rights, and how, when, and where
such violations occurred. Plaintiff’s amended complaint will completely replace, not supplement, the original complaint. CONCLUSION The Court construes Plaintiff’s application (ECF 9) as a request for an extension of time to file an amended complaint and grants the request. The Court directs Plaintiff to file his amended complaint, if any, within 30 days of the date of this order. An amended complaint form is attached to this order.
If Plaintiff does not submit an amended complaint within 30 days, then as set forth in the November 14, 2024 order of dismissal, the complaint will be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), (iii). 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. Dated: January 13, 2025 New York, New York

VII. PLAINTIFF’S CERTIFICATION AND WARNINGS By signing below, I certify to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief that: (1) the complaint is not being presented for an improper purpose (such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation); (2) the claims are supported by existing law or by anonfrivolous argument to change existing law; (3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and (4) the complaint otherwise complies with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. I understand that if I file three or more cases while I am a prisoner that are dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim, I may be denied in forma pauperis status in future cases. I also understand that prisoners must exhaust administrative procedures before filing an action in federal court about prison conditions, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), and that my case may be dismissed if I have not exhausted administrative remedies as required. I agree to provide the Clerk's Office with any changes to my address. I understand that my failure to keep a current address on file with the Clerk's Office may result in the dismissal of my case.
Each Plaintiff must sign and date the complaint. Attach additional pages if necessary. If seeking to proceed without prepayment of fees, each plaintiff must also submit an IFP application.
