ORDER OF DISMISSAL
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, United States District Judge:
By order dated February 28, 2022, the Court consolidated the two actions under case numbers 21-CV-10689 and 21-CV-10690, and directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint under case number 21-CV-10689 within sixty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the two complaints for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaints, filed in forma pauperis (IFP) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), are dismissed for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
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. 1 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. 2
