Jones v. Homeless Housing Association Corporation

1:26-cv-06070

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:

In an order dated August 25, 2016, the court barred Plaintiff from filing any new civil action in this court in forma pauperis (“IFP“) without first obtaining from the court leave to file. See Jones v. Stewart, ECF 1:16-CV-2375, 9 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 25, 2016),1 appeal dismissed, No. 22-2105 (2d Cir. Dec. 29, 2022). Plaintiff has not sought leave to file this action. The Court therefore dismisses this action without prejudice for Plaintiff‘s failure to comply with the Court‘s August 25, 2016 order in Jones, ECF 1:16-CV-2375, 9.

The Court certifies, pursuant to 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. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).

The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reason set forth in this order.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 20, 2026
