The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
KURELL BROWN,
Plaintiff,
25cv9814 (LTS)
-against-
CIVIL JUDGMENT
JAHNAH FERGUSON, ET AL.,
Defendants.
For the reasons stated in the January 20, 2026, 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.
