Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK KAWAHN STRACHN, Plaintiff, -against- 19-CV-10212 (JPO) NYPD; NYPD OFFICER GOMEZ; REVISED ORDER OF SERVICE LIEUTENANT EDMONDS; FRIAS RAILYNG, Defendants. J. PAUL OETKEN, United States District Judge: Plaintiff Kawahn Strachn brings this pro se action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights. By order dated November 4, 2019, the Court granted Plaintiff’s request to proceed without prepayment of fees, that is, in forma pauperis. On November 14, 2019, this Court issued an Order of Service directing the U.S. Marshals Service to effect service on Defendants City of New York, Officer Gomez, Officer Frias Railyng, and Lieutenant Edmonds. On December 12, 2019, Plaintiff filed the unexecuted Marshal’s Process Receipt and Return of Service unexecuted as to Lieutenant Edmonds and Officer Gomez. Plaintiff has requested that the U.S. Marshal’s Service attempt to serve the un-served defendants at a new address. (See Dkt. No. 10.) The Clerk of Court is instructed to complete the USM-285 forms with the addresses for Defendants Officer Gomez and Lieutenant Edmonds, and deliver to the U.S. Marshals Service all documents necessary to effect service. The Clerk of Court is further instructed to mail this Order
to pro se Plaintiff Kawahn Strachn. Plaintiff’s time to serve Defendants Gomez and Edmonds is extended to September 30, 2020. 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: July 30, 2020 New York, New York
