2. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) that, for the foregoing reasons, an appeal of this Order would not be taken in good faith and therefore DENIES Plaintiff leave to appeal in forma pauperis;
3. Plaintiff remains free to apply to proceed in forma pauperis in the Court of Appeals; and
4. The Clerk shall enter judgment accordingly, whereupon this civil action is TERMINATED in this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Date: 10/7/2015
