Johnson v. Department of Corrections

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK CHAD JOHNSON, Plaintiff, 21-CV-0986 (CM) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, ET AL., Defendants. COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated February 8, 2021, the Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to submit a prisoner authorization and an amended request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) and or pay the $402.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this Court. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed a prisoner authorization and amended IFP application or paid the fee. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. $§ 1914, 1915. The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff 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 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). SO ORDERED. Dated: March 10, 2021 , New York, New York hie. Iu Wyk COLLEEN McMAHON Chief United States District Judge
