Singleton v. New York City Department of Corrections

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AARON L. SINGLETON, Plaintiff, 20-CV-9245 (LTS) -against- NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF ORDER CORRECTCIONS, et al., Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated December 1, 2021, the Court designated this action as a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 and granted Plaintiff 30 days’ leave to file a Section 2241 habeas corpus petition setting forth his grounds for relief. Before the Court issued this order, Plaintiff had filed a motion for summary judgment (ECF 14). The Court denies the motion as moot. 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 directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. SO ORDERED. Dated: December 14, 2021 New York, New York
