| Sep 16, 2024 | 3 | STANDING ORDER IN RE CASES FILED BY PRO SE PLAINTIFFS (See 24-MISC-127 Standing Order filed March 18, 2024). To ensure that all cases heard in the Southern District of New York are handled promptly and efficiently, all parties must keep the court apprised of any new contact information. It is a party's obligation to provide an address for service; service of court orders cannot be accomplished if a party does not update the court when a change of address occurs. Accordingly, all self-represented litigants are hereby ORDERED to inform the court of each change in their address or electronic contact information. Parties may consent to electronic service to receive notifications of court filings by email, rather than relying on regular mail delivery. Parties may also ask the court for permission to file documents electronically. Forms, including instructions for consenting to electronic service and requesting permission to file documents electronically, may be found by clicking on the hyperlinks in this order, or by accessing the forms on the courts website, nysd.uscourts.gov/forms. The procedures that follow apply only to cases filed by pro se plaintiffs. If the court receives notice from the United States Postal Service that an order has been returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order. Such order will be sent to the plaintiffs last known address and will also be viewable on the court's electronic docket. A notice directing the parties' attention to this order shall be docketed (and mailed to any self-represented party that has appeared and has not consented to electronic service) upon the opening of each case or miscellaneous matter that is classified as pro se in the court's records.

| Sep 18, 2024 | 4 | ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF FEE OR IFP APPLICATION & PRISONER AUTHORIZATION: Plaintiff is directed to render payment of the filing fee or submit an IFP application & Prisoner Authorization to this Court's Pro Se Office within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. The Clerk of Court is directed to assign this matter to my docket. 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 in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Filing Fee due by 10/18/2024. In Forma Pauperis (IFP) Application due by 10/18/2024. Prisoner Authorization Form due by 10/18/2024.

| Oct 2, 2024 | 10 | ORDER GRANTING IFP APPLICATION: While the Court finds Plaintiffs application sufficiently establishes he is indigent, the prior payment of the filing fee renders moot Plaintiff's request to proceed without prepayment of fees. Accordingly, Plaintiff's IFP application is granted only for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Service in effectuating service upon Defendants. Rodriguez v. Trs. of Columbia Univ. in the City of New York, No. 03 Civ. 4072 (RMB) (DF), 2004 WL 1087264, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. May 14, 2004) ("since Plaintiffs have already paid the filing fee, the application is granted only for the purpose of permitting them to obtain the assistance of the United States Marshal in serving the Complaint on the defendants"); see also Velarde v. Heartland Christian Homeschool Ctr., Inc., No. 12 Civ. 2983 (IEG) (BLM), 2013 WL 244555, at *1 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 22, 2013) (granting the plaintiff's motion to proceed IFP after the filing fee was paid because his application was sufficient to show that he was financially unable to execute personal service of the summons and complaint). By a separate order of service, the Court will instruct the U.S. Marshals Service to assist Plaintiff with serving Defendants. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) ("The officers of the court shall issue and serve all process, and perform all duties in [IFP] cases."). SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Gary Stein on 10/2/2024) (tg) (Entered: 10/02/2024) | No document |
| Oct 2, 2024 | 11 | ORDER OF SERVICE: By Order dated October 2, 2024, the Court granted Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"). (Dkt. No. 10). He is therefore entitled to rely on the Court and the U.S. Marshals Service to effect service on Defendants. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d); Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3). Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is instructed to fill out a U.S. Marshals Service Process Receipt and Return form (USM-285 form) for Defendants Sean Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment LLC using the addresses appended to this Order. The Clerk is further instructed to issue summonses and deliver to the Marshals Service all of the paperwork necessary for the Marshals Service to effect service upon Defendants. Lastly, the Clerk is directed to mail an information package to Plaintiff at his address on record and send an electronic version of the same to his e-mail address on record. If the complaint is not served within 90 days after the date the summons is issued, Plaintiff should request an extension of time for service. See Meilleur v. Strong, 682 F.3d 56, 63 (2d Cir. 2012) (holding that it is the plaintiff's responsibility to request an extension of time for service). Plaintiff also must notify the Court if his address changes, and the Court may dismiss the action if Plaintiff fails to do so. SO ORDERED.
