JESSE REID, JR. Plaintiff, v. RAY MAYBUS, et al., Defendants.
Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz
DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING THE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
(Doc. 4)
This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz. Pursuant to such reference, the Magistrate Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court and, on August 19, 2015, submitted a Report and Recommendations. (Doc. 4). No objections were filed.
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), the Court has reviewed the comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered de novo all of the filings in this matter. Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court does determine that such Report and Recommendations should be and is hereby adopted in its entirety. Accordingly:
1. The Report and Recommendations (Doc. 4) is ADOPTED;
2. Plaintiff's Complaint is DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(e)(2)(B);
3. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal of this Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore DENIES Plaintiff leave to appeal in forma pauperis. He remains free, however, to apply to proceed in forma pauperis in the Court of Appeals; and
4. The Clerk shall enter judgment according, whereupon this civil action is TERMINATED in this Court.
