WILLIE SCOTT, Petitioner, v. WARDEN, Respondent.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated August 25, 2022, the Court directed Petitioner, within thirty days, to submit a completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP application”) or pay the $402.00 in fees required to file a civil action in this court. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. Petitioner has not filed an IFP application or paid the fees. Accordingly, the petition is denied without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
Because the petition makes no substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, a certificate of appealability will not issue. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253.
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 issue a judgment in this action.
SO ORDERED.
