Order on Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis
Mon 05/05 12:50 PM
ORDER denying ECF No.2 , Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis; dismissing case. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), courts are required to dismiss any action that is frivolous or that fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See also Fitzgerald v. First E. Seventh St. Tenants Corp. , 221 F.3d 362, 364 (2d Cir. 2000) ("[W]e hold that district courts may dismiss a frivolous complaint sua sponte even when the plaintiff has paid the required filing fee...."). Plaintiff purports to sue U.S. Bank and an employee thereof for violating the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ("ECOA"), 15 U.S.C. § 1691et seq. He states that he applied for credit at the bank and was denied, which denial he believes must have resulted from some misconduct. While the ECOA does prohibit lenders from denying credit to applicants based upon a protected characteristic, Plaintiff has failed to adduce sufficient facts to support any such claim. He does not state to which protected group he belongs or that the bank indicated any preference for applicants not of that protected group. And while he speaks generally of his creditworthiness, it is not clear that he was in fact qualified for the loan he sought. Accordingly, the ECOA claim must be dismissed, though without prejudice. Plaintiff may amend his complaint on or before June 16, 2025. Failure to do so will result in closure of this action. Should Plaintiff choose to amend the complaint, the court draws his attention to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which lay out certain requirements for pleadings. For example, Rule 10 requires a pleading to have a Rule 7(a) designation and numbered paragraphs, and Rule 11 requires it to include the pleader's address, email address, and phone number. Any amended complaint must comply with all the Rules. The court will not accept another letter-form pleading. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Omar A. Williams on 5/5/25. (Wagner, R) |
