YOUNG YIL JO, Plaintiff, v. DEPT. OF JUSTICE, Defendant.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 1651
Laura Taylor Swain Chief United States District Judge
On May 6, 2015, Plaintiff was barred from filing any new action in forma pauperis (IFP) without first obtaining from the court leave to file. See In re Young Yil Jo, ECF 1:14-CV-7793, 3 (S.D.N.Y. May 6, 2015). On September 7, 2022, Plaintiff filed this new pro se case. Because Plaintiff did not pay the $402.00 in fees required to file this action, the Court assumes Plaintiff is seeking to proceed IFP. Plaintiff has not sought leave from the court. The Court therefore dismisses the action without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with the May 6, 2015, order.
The Court advises Plaintiff that the filing injunctions issued in In re Young Yil Jo, 1:14-CV-7793 (S.D.N.Y.), remain in effect. Plaintiff is enjoined from filing any new civil action or proceeding in this court without first obtaining leave of the court. Plaintiff also remains barred from filing any document in this court in the name of another person.
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 in forma pauperis 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 enter judgment in this case.
SO ORDERED.
