Opinion

Civil Action No. 3:18-CV-0539-D

06-13-2018

REGINALD DARNELL MCDONALD, Plaintiff, v. FELICIA PITRE, et al., Defendants.


ORDER

The United States Magistrate Judge made findings, conclusions, and a recommendation in this case. No objections were filed. The district judge reviewed the proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation for plain error. Finding none, the court adopts the findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge.

It is therefore ordered that this action is dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

The court prospectively certifies that any appeal of this action would not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). In support of this finding, the court adopts and incorporates by reference the magistrate judge's findings, conclusions, and recommendation. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n.21 (5th Cir. 1997). Based on the findings, the court finds that any appeal of this action would present no legal point of arguable merit and would, therefore, be frivolous. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983). In the event of an appeal, plaintiff may challenge this certification by filing a separate motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal with the Clerk of the Court, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202; Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5).

SO ORDERED.
