UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent.

CASTEL, U.S.D.J. On March 9, 2018 and November 8, 2018, the Court denied Enrico Thomas’s petition for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 and his subsequent motion for reconsideration. (Docket # 21, 23.) It declined to issue a certificate of appealability pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 2253. (Id.) The Orders noted that Thomas had not sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis and therefore made no findings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Ud.) On December 10, 2018, Thomas applied for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docket # 24.) This Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from those Orders would not be taken in good faith, and in forma pauperis status is denied. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). SO ORDERED. LA Peewon LZ Peeves Lael United States District Judge Dated: New York, New York June 19, 2020
