Ramani v. Warner Music Group Corp

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK VALMIKI RAMANI, Plaintiff, 24-CV-7445 (KMW) -against- ORDER WARNER MUSIC GROUP CORP, Defendant. KIMBA M. WOOD, United States District Judge: By order dated June 5, 2025, the Court dismissed this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3), and granted Plaintiff 30 days’ leave to file an amended complaint to state facts demonstrating that his claims arise under federal law. On June 23, 2025, Plaintiff filed a document titled “Replead.” (ECF 7.) The document does not include any facts demonstrating that the Court can exercise federal jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s claims. The Court therefore dismisses this action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). 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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962). The Clerk of Court is instructed to enter judgment in this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: June 26, 2025 New York, New York
