If an IFP application is filed, it should be labeled with docket number 26-cv-8190-GHW. If the Court grants the IFP application, this action will proceed without the prepayment of fees. See 28 U.S.C. § 915(a)(1). If Mr. Cisse or Mr. Ndiaye fails to comply with this order within the time allowed, and does not request additional time to respond, the Court will dismiss this action.

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 appellant demonstrates good faith when seeking review of a nonfrivolous issue).
