MARILYN BEAL, also known as MARILYN BRUCE, Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, NA, Defendant.
ORDER
On September 15, 2014, plaintiff submitted this pro se action pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692. Plaintiff's submission did not include the requisite filing fee or in forma pauperis ("IFP") application. By letter dated September 19, 2014, plaintiff was provided with the proper forms and instructed that in order to proceed, she must either pay the fee or return the completed IFP application within 14 days from the date of the letter. Plaintiff did not respond to the Court's letter. Accordingly, the action is dismissed without prejudice.
Defendant may have been attempting to file a notice of removal or a new action. Both require the filing fee or an IFP application.
--------
The court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).
The Clerk of Court shall mail a copy of this Memorandum and Order, and the accompanying Judgment, to petitioner and note the mailing on the docket.
SO ORDERED. Dated: Brooklyn, New York
