The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
SHARON BROWN,
Plaintiff,
24-CV-7216 (LTS)
-against-
ORDER
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, et al.,
Defendants.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated March 7, 2025, the Court dismissed this action for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction and directed the Clerk of Court to enter judgment. On March 13, 2025, before
judgment was entered in this case, Plaintiff filed her third request for preliminary injunctive
relief. Five days later, on March 18, 2025, a civil judgment was entered. Accordingly, the Court
directs the Clerk of Court to terminate Plaintiff’s request for relief. (ECF 12.)
This case is closed.
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).
SO ORDERED.
Dated: March 19, 2025
New York, New York
