Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ROBERT ALLEN RYTLEWSKI, Plaintiff, 20-CV-8543 (CM) -against- ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEES OR IFP APPLICATION GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES, Defendant. COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge: Plaintiff brings this action pro se. To proceed with a civil action in this Court, a plaintiff must either pay $400.00 in fees – a $350.00 filing fee plus a $50.00 administrative fee – or, to request permission to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), that is, without prepayment of fees, submit a signed IFP application. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. Plaintiff submitted this action without the filing fees or an IFP application. Within thirty days of the date of this order, Plaintiff must either pay the $400.00 in fees or submit the attached IFP application. If Plaintiff submits the IFP application, it should be labeled with docket number 20-CV-8543 (CM). If the Court grants the IFP application, Plaintiff will be permitted to proceed without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). The Clerk of Court is directed to transmit a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket.1 No summons shall issue at this time. If Plaintiff complies with this order, the case shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the Clerk’s Office. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed.

1 Plaintiff consents to receive electronic service of notices and documents in this case. (ECF No. 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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue). SO ORDERED. Dated: October 22, 2020 , New York, New York hie.
