VICTOR CHEN, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER ASHWIN VASAN, NEW YORK CITY DEPT. OF HEALTH; DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, Defendants.
ORDER
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
Plaintiff filed this action pro se and in forma pauperis (IFP). By order dated April 29, 2022, the Court dismissed the complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), and directed him to show cause within 30 days why an order should not be entered barring Plaintiff from filing any future action IFP in this court without prior permission. (ECF 6.) On May 16, 2017, the Court received a letter from Plaintiff in which he claimed that there was no declaration form attached to the Court's April 29, 2022, order, and asking “what [he] might do about the missing declaration form.” (ECF 7, at 1.)
The Court notes that a declaration form was attached to its April 29, 2022, order. (See ECF 6, at 7-8.) In any event, for Plaintiff's convenience, a declaration form is attached to this order. A declaration form is available on the court's website at: https://nysd.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/2021-07/Declaration-fillable.pdf.
In light of Plaintiff's pro se status, the Court grants Plaintiff an extension of time to respond to the Court's April 29, 2022, order. Plaintiff is directed to file a declaration within 30 days of the date of this order showing cause why an order should not be entered barring Plaintiff from filing any future action IFP in this court without prior permission. If Plaintiff fails to submit a declaration within the time directed, or if Plaintiff's declaration does not set forth good cause why this injunction should not be entered, he will be barred from filing any further actions IFP in this court unless he first obtains permission from the court to do so.
SO ORDERED.
