JEONG-SUK NO, Plaintiff, v. REPUBLIC OF KOREA, SOUTH KOREA, Defendant.
BAR ORDER UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 1651 :
Plaintiff filed this action pro se. On February 10, 2020, the Court dismissed the action as frivolous, noted that Plaintiff had filed numerous other cases dismissed as frivolous, and ordered Plaintiff to show cause by affirmation within fourteen days why he should not be barred from filing further actions in forma pauperis (IFP) in this Court without prior permission. Plaintiff filed a response on February 24, 2020, but he does not make any sufficient argument against imposing the bar.
CONCLUSION
The Court bars Plaintiff from filing future civil actions IFP in this Court without first obtaining from the Court leave to file. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Plaintiff must attach a copy of his proposed complaint and a copy of this order to any motion seeking leave to file. The motion must be filed with the Pro Se Intake Unit of this Court. If Plaintiff violates this order and files an action without filing a motion for leave to file, the Court will dismiss the action for failure to comply with this order.
Plaintiff is further warned that the continued submission of frivolous documents may result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including monetary penalties. See id. The Clerk is directed to close this action.
The Court certifies, pursuant to 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). SO ORDERED. Dated: February 25, 2020
