UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
TIMOTHY A. BERESNYAK,
Plaintiff,
20-CV-4083 (CM)
-against-
ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEES
CATHOLIC MEDICAL MISSION BOARD,
OR IFP APPLICATION
INC.; BRUCE WILKINSON; MESERET
ANSEBO; JOHN MIX,
Defendants.
COLLEEN McMAHON, Chief United States District Judge:
Plaintiff Timothy A. Beresnyak brings this action pro se. To proceed with a civil action in
this Court, a plaintiff must either pay $400.00 in fees – a $350.00 filing fee plus a $50.00
administrative fee – or, to request authorization to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP), that is,
without prepayment of fees, submit a signed IFP application. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
Plaintiff submitted the complaint without the filing fees or an IFP application. Within
thirty days of the date of this order, Plaintiff must either pay the $400.00 in fees or submit the
attached IFP application. If Plaintiff submits the IFP application, it should be labeled with docket
number 20-CV-4083 (CM). If the Court grants the IFP application, Plaintiff will be permitted to
proceed without prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1).
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on
the docket. No summons shall issue at this time. If Plaintiff complies with this order, the case
shall be processed in accordance with the procedures of the Clerk’s Office. If Plaintiff fails to
comply with this order within the time allowed, the action will be dismissed.
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 appellant demonstrates
good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue).
SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 1, 2020
