Stubbs v. Colby

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK CORNELIUS DELMAR STUBBS, Plaintiff, 22-CV-8056 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL E. COLBY, ET AL, Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated May 30, 2023, the Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within sixty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint, filed in forma pauperis (IFP) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), is dismissed under 28 U.S.C. §1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 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 an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter judgment in this action. SO ORDERED. Dated: August 16, 2023 New York, New York /s/ Laura Taylor Swain LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN Chief United States District Judge
