UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

------------------------------------x

GRETA BROWN,

Plaintiff, MEMORANDUM & ORDER

25-cv-05103 (EK)(TAM)

-against-

GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL, et al.,

Defendants.

------------------------------------x

ERIC KOMITEE, United States District Judge:

Greta Brown filed this Section 1983 lawsuit in

September 2025. Shortly thereafter, the Clerk of Court notified

Brown that her filing was deficient, because she had neither

paid the filing fee nor moved to proceed in forma pauperis. See

Notice of Deficient Filing, ECF No. 2. The Clerk warned Brown

that if she did not correct the error within fourteen days, the

complaint could be dismissed. Id. Brown did not correct the

error within the prescribed timeframe. Accordingly, the Court

dismisses this action without prejudice.

The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close

this case and mail a copy of this order to Brown. 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

denies in forma pauperis status for purposes of an appeal.

Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).

SO ORDERED.
