JAVONTE DAVIS, Plaintiff, v. TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, MORGAN COUNTY CORRECTIONAL COMPLEX, STACEY OAKS, SGT. TROUT, MRS. B, MIKE PARISH, LISA HELTON, IA FOSTER, CO GOLDIE, and CPL FRAZIER, Defendants.


JUDGMENT ORDER

J. RONNIE GREER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.

For the reasons set forth in the memorandum opinion filed herewith:

1. Plaintiff's motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Docs. 1, 6] are GRANTED;

2. Plaintiff is ASSESSED the civil filing fee of $350.00;

3. The custodian of Plaintiff's inmate trust account is DIRECTED to submit the filing fee to the Clerk in the manner set forth in the accompanying memorandum opinion;

4. The Clerk is DIRECTED to provide a copy of the memorandum opinion and this order to both the custodian of inmate accounts at the institution where Plaintiff is now confined and the Court's financial deputy;

5. Even liberally construing the complaint in favor of Plaintiff, it fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under § 1983;

6. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A;

7. Because the Court CERTIFIED in the memorandum opinion that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, should Plaintiff file a notice of appeal, he is DENIED leave to appeal in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Fed. R. App. P. 24; and

8. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.

So ordered.
