Judge Swain dismissed Anorak Co. Ltd. v. Cherloi Global without prejudice because Anorak did not pay the required filing fee.
Anorak Co. Ltd.'s complaint against Cherloi Global was dismissed without prejudice because Anorak did not pay the required filing fee. The order also denied fee-free status for any appeal.
What happened
In Anorak Co. Ltd. v. Cherloi Global, the court had ordered Anorak Co. Ltd. to pay the $405 filing fee within thirty days. The order warned that failing to pay would result in dismissal.
Anorak did not pay the fee, so the court dismissed the complaint without prejudice. This means the dismissal did not bar refiling, although the opinion does not explain whether or when Anorak might refile.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain also ruled that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied fee-free status for an appeal. She directed the Clerk of Court to enter judgment.

Background
On December 16, 2024, the Court ordered Plaintiff Anorak Co. Ltd. to pay the $405 fee required to file a civil action in the Southern District of New York within thirty days. The order stated that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint.
Ruling
Because Anorak had not paid the required fee, the Court dismissed the complaint without prejudice. The Court cited 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914 and 1915. The opinion does not address the underlying claims against Cherloi Global.
Appeal and Judgment
The Court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied fee-free status for an appeal. The Court also directed the Clerk of Court to enter judgment.
