UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

NKOSI S. BROWN, Managing Intern, White

House, Trump.org,

Plaintiff, 24-CV-7173 (LTS)

-against-

BAR ORDER UNDER

WWW.JUNHAMPTON; WWW.MICHELLE- 28 U.S.C. § 1651

KENNEY.COM,

Defendants.

LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:

Plaintiff filed this action pro se. On August 6, 2025, the Court dismissed the action as

frivolous, noted that Plaintiff had filed five other cases that were dismissed as frivolous or for

lack of subject matter jurisdiction, and ordered Plaintiff, within 30 days, to show cause by

declaration why he should not be barred from filing further actions in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in

this court without prior permission. Plaintiff did not file a declaration as directed. On September

22, 2025, the Court received notice that the August 6, 2025 order was returned to the Court as

undeliverable. Plaintiff has not updated his address with the Clerk’s Office, as required by the

Standing Order issued by the Court and docketed in this action on September 23, 2025. See In

Re: Cases Filed By Pro Se Plaintiffs, This Matter Relates To: Duty of Self-Represented Parties to

Keep Address Information Current, No. 24-MC-127 (LTS) (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2024).

Accordingly, the bar order will issue.1

1 If Plaintiff updates his address with the Clerk’s Office, moves for reconsideration of this

order, and shows his intention to file a declaration in response to the August 6, 2025 order, the

Court will consider such a declaration at that time.

CONCLUSION

The Court hereby bars Plaintiff from filing future civil actions IFP in this court without

first obtaining from the court leave to file. See 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Plaintiff must attach a copy of

his proposed complaint and a copy of this order to any motion seeking leave to file. The motion

must be filed with the Pro Se Intake Unit of this court. If Plaintiff violates this order and files an

action without filing a motion for leave to file, the action will be dismissed for failure to comply

with this order.

The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate any motions in this case.

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 IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal.

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

The Clerk of Court is further directed to enter judgment in this action.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 3, 2025
