BRISTON SMITH, Plaintiff, v. CORRECTIONAL OFFICER BESTMAN, CORRECTIONAL OFFICER SEEMUS, UNIT MANAGER BRANDON ROBINSON, and STATE OF TENNESSEE Defendants.
JUDGMENT ORDER
KATHERINE A. CRYTZER, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
For the reasons set forth in the Memorandum & Order filed herewith, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that this prisoner's pro se civil rights action, filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, is DISMISSED for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A(b)(1). Plaintiff's state-law claims are DISMISSED without prejudice. 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c).
Because the Court CERTIFIED in the Memorandum & Order 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.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to close the file.
SO ORDERED. 1
