EDWARD A. MURPHY, Plaintiff, v. NYU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, Defendant.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
By order dated October 6, 2021, the Court denied Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), that is, without prepayment of fees. The Court directed Plaintiff, within thirty days, to pay the $402.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court and specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Plaintiff has not paid the fees, and the time for doing so has expired. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice to refiling. 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).
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket.
SO ORDERED.
