The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
SHADIA BROWN,
Plaintiff,
25-CV-6013 (LTS)
-against-
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
VICTORY MITSUBISHI, ET AL.,
Defendants.
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge:
The court’s March 18, 2024 Standing Order requires all self-represented litigants to
maintain a current address of record (or electronic contact information) with the court. 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) (“Standing
Order”). By order dated March 10, 2026, the Court directed Plaintiff to show cause, within 30
days, why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice for her failure to provide a
current address of record for this action.
Plaintiff has not provided a current address or otherwise communicated with the court.
Accordingly, the Court dismisses this action, under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, for failure to comply with the March 18, 2024 Standing Order. This dismissal is
without prejudice to Plaintiff’s filing a new civil action.
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 in forma pauperis 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 judgment in this action.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 27, 2026
New York, New York
