ROBERT W. JOHNSON, Plaintiff, v. CATHERINE O'HAGAN WOLFE; JANE DOE (CASE MANAGER FOR 2ND CIRCUIT APPEALS DOCKET "19-2174"); SECOND CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS; SECOND CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS MAIL DEPARMENT; JUDGE COLLEEN McMAHON; JUDGE LOUIS L. STANTON; BENJAMIN H. TORRANCE, ESQ.; BARBARA D. UNDERWOOD, ESQ.; U.S. ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL; U.S. POSTAL (OFFICE) SERVICE; PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendants.
JUDGMENT
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Order dated July 12, 2020, 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 the 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 the order and files an action without filing a motion for leave to file, the Court will dismiss the action for failure to comply with the 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 Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the 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); accordingly, this case is closed. Dated: New York, New York
