Lilia Angello v. Mack et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York orders pro se plaintiff Lilia Angello to pay the required filing and administrative fees or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days. The order states that no summons will issue until compliance and that failure to comply will result in dismissal.

Holdings

1. A plaintiff commencing a civil action must either pay the required filing and administrative fees or submit a signed application to proceed in forma pauperis; because plaintiff submitted neither, she was ordered to cure the deficiency within thirty days.
2. Any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith, and in forma pauperis status is denied for purposes of an appeal.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the plaintiff must pay the required filing and administrative fees or submit a signed application to proceed in forma pauperis before the action may proceed.
