Jones v. City of New York

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK KEISHA A. JONES, Plaintiff, 22-CV-7243 (LTS) -against- ORDER CITY OF NEW YORK, ET AL., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff brings this action pro se. By order dated October 17, 2022, and entered on October 20, 2022, the Court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim but granted Plaintiff 30 days’ leave to replead her claims under the Fair Housing Act and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. By order dated November 16, 2022, the Court granted Plaintiff’s request to have until December 5, 2022, to file an amended complaint. (ECF 6). On December 7, 2022, Plaintiff filed a letter in which she asks the Court to extend the deadline to December 15, 2022, because she has been sick. (ECF 7.) The Court grants Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time. Plaintiff must submit any amended complaint by December 15, 2022. If Plaintiff fails to comply within the time allowed, the Court will enter judgment consistent with its October 17, 2022, order of dismissal. CONCLUSION The Court grants Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff must submit any amended complaint by December 15, 2022. 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: December 9, 2022 New York, New York
