## Opinion text

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
GAVIN SOLOMON,
Plaintiff,
1:25-CV-6919 (LTS)
-against-
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM,
Defendant.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
By order dated August 26, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff, within 30 days, to submit a
completed request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP” or “IFP application”) or pay the $405.00
in fees required to file a civil action in this court. That order specified that failure to comply
would result in dismissal of this action. Plaintiff has not filed an IFP application or paid the fees.
Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915.
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 an appellant demonstrates
good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the
reasons set forth above.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 29, 2025
New York, New York
