KEVIN CASSADAY, Plaintiff, v. PFIZER INC., Defendant.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
By order dated March 30, 2021, the Court directed Plaintiff to either pay the $402.00 in fees that are required to file a civil action in this court or submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) application and prisoner authorization within thirty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the filing fees or filed an IFP application and prisoner authorization. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
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).
SO ORDERED.
