Standing Order re Cases Filed By Pro Se Plaintiffs
Wed 01/15 8:00 PM
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[LINK: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[LINK: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returned to the court, or otherwise receives information that the address of record for a self-represented plaintiff is no longer valid, the court may issue an Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with this order.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. (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 3/18/2024) (vba) |

| ORDER: The Court is in receipt of pro se Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis . (Dkt. 2.) Plaintiff's Complaint largely consists of employment discrimination claims pursuant to Title VII against the Whitby Hotel, located in New York County. (Dkt.1 .) Though venue in this action is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(3), which allows Plaintiff to bring a Title VII action in any judicial district within the state where he worked, the Court may nevertheless transfer claims to another federal court where the action might have been brought "[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in the interest of justice." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Here, Plaintiff's employment discrimination claims against the Whitby Hotel allegedly occurred in New York County, located in the Southern District of New York. 28 U.S.C. § 112(b). For this reason, transfer appears to be appropriate pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to transfer this action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A ruling on Plaintiff's in forma pauperis application is reserved for the Southern District of New York. The provision of Local Rule 83.1 requiring a seven-day stay is hereby waived. No summons will issue from this Court, and the Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mark this case closed upon transfer. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States , 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Ordered by Judge Pamela K. Chen on 1/14/2025. (FG) [Transferred from New York Eastern on 1/15/2025.] | ||
| Case electronically transferred to the Southern District of New York. ALL FILINGS ARE TO BE MADE IN THE TRANSFER COURT, DO NOT DOCKET TO THIS CASE. (FG) [Transferred from New York Eastern on 1/15/2025.] | ||
