## Opinion text

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
MARVIN BROWN,
Plaintiff,
25cv4523 (LTS)
-against-
CIVIL JUDGMENT
DOE,
Defendant.
For the reasons stated in the August 8, 2025, order, this action is dismissed. The Court
certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the Court’s judgment 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 an appellant demonstrates good faith
when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 8, 2025
New York, New York
