Mikanda v. Trump

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK EX PARTE NEYEMBO MIKANDA, CHSC, Plaintiff, 1:23-CV-8359 (LTS) -against- ORDER DONALD J. TRUMP, Defendant. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated September 21, 2023, the Court directed Plaintiff, who appears pro se, within 30 days, to either pay the $402 in fees to bring this civil action or submit an in forma paueris (“IFP”) application. On October 5, 2023, Plaintiff filed three submissions in which Plaintiff seems to request that the Court withdraw its September 21, 2023 order. (ECF 3-5.) The Court denies those requests. The Court’s September 21, 2023 order remains in effect. 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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. Dated: October 17, 2023 New York, New York
