ORDER

STEVEN MERRYDAY, District Judge

Andersen's civil rights complaint was dismissed because no defense counsel acts under color of law and the case is barred byHeck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994). Andersen appeals (Doc. 4). Based on the reasons stated in the earlier order finding that this case lacks merit, an appeal lacks good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) and Rule 24(a)(4)(B), Fed.R.App.P.

Accordingly, an appeal lacks good faith. Andersen is assessed the $455.00 appellate filing fee. The clerk shall mail a copy of this order to the Florida Dept. of Corrections, Inmate Trust Fund, Centerville Station, PO Box 12100, Tallahassee, FL 32317-2100, Attention: Jeffrey R. Straley, Professional Account Supervisor, and Veronica Wold, Government Operations Consultant. The Department of Corrections shall place a lien on the inmate's trust account for court costs and filing fees due.

ORDERED in Tampa, Florida.
