JESSE M. FURMAN, District Judge.
Plaintiff Boisey Caldwell, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brings claims against the City of New York (the "City") and New York City Police Officer Mdim Rahaman. (See Docket No. 7 ("Am. Compl.")).
First, even construed liberally, Caldwell's Amended Complaint does not come close to stating "a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). At most, the rambling Amended Complaint contains nothing more than "unadorned, the defendant-unlawfully-harmed me accusation[s]," Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009), to the effect that Caldwell "had come to court because of the false charges . . . posed by Officer Rahaman," (Am. Compl. 57). That is not enough to "nudge[] [Caldwell's] claims across the line from conceivable to plausible." Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570. Second, and in any event, Defendants identify various independent grounds for dismissal of Caldwell's claims. For instance: any false arrest allegations stemming from the 2014 summonses are time barred, see Lynch v. Suffolk Cty. Police Dep't, Inc., 348 Fed. App'x 672, 674 (2d Cir. 2009) (noting that "[t]he statute of limitations for a [Section] 1983 action arising in New York is three years"); Caldwell does not allege any deprivation of liberty, a necessary element of any malicious prosecution claim, see Rohman v. N.Y.C. Transit Auth., 215 F.3d 208, 215 (2d Cir. 2000); Caldwell fails to plead sufficient facts to state a claim for municipal liability, see City of Canton v. Harris, 489 U.S. 378, 385 (1989) (holding that a plaintiff must demonstrate "a direct causal link between a municipal policy or custom and the alleged constitutional deprivation"); see also Monell v. Dep't of Soc. Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 693-95 (1978); and any claims relating to the 2016 summons are barred by the terms of the Stinson settlement, (see No. 10-CV-4228 (RWS), Docket No. 319-1, § 4.1; see also id., Docket No. 343). For all of these reasons, Caldwell's claims must be and are dismissed as to all Defendants.
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 in forma pauperis 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). The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate Docket No. 21, to close the case, and to mail a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order to Caldwell.
SO ORDERED.
