v.
ORDER
Ameet Goyal,
Defendant.
---------------------------------------------------------------X
CATHY SEIBEL, United States District Judge:
On July 25, 2023, the Finance Department issued a deficiency notice on the ECF docket
stating: “Incorrect Payment Type received by the Finance Department on 07/25/2023, Payment
will be held by the Finance Office pending further order of the Court.” Defendant was
attempting to pay the filing fee for his appeal, but a personal check is not an acceptable form of
payment for that purpose.
The filing fee may be paid in person by credit card or cash at the Courthouse at 500 Pearl
Street, New York, New York, or by credit card at the Courthouse at 300 Quarropas Street, White
Plains, New York. Otherwise, the fee must be paid by certified check or money order, payable
to “Clerk of Court – SDNY,” and mailed to: Cashiers Unit – Room 260, 500 Pearl Street, New
York, NY 10007. Any certified check or money order must include Defendant’s case number,
19-CR-844 (CS).
CONCLUSION
The Clerk of Court is directed to return the Defendant his personal check for $505.00. If
Defendant wishes to pursue his appeal, he must submit the fee using one of the acceptable forms
of payment described above.

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 IFP 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.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 26, 2023
White Plains, New York
