GEORGETTE BENITA THORNTON, Plaintiff, v. OFFICER M.S. SMOKES, et al., Defendants.
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS
TILMAN E. SELF, III, JUDGE
Before the Court is pro se Plaintiff Georgette Benita Thornton's Motion for Leave to Appeal in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) [Doc. 17]. On February 6, 2024, the Court issued an Order adopting the magistrate judge's R&R, denying Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed IFP, and dismissing Plaintiff's Complaint without prejudice. [Doc. 9]. On February 23, 2024, Plaintiff filed her Notice of Appeal [Doc. 11], which the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed on March 21, 2024. [Doc. 15]. Then, on April 1, 2024, after her appeal was dismissed, Plaintiff filed this Motion seeking the Court's leave to proceed IFP on appeal. See [Doc. 17].
Because the Court of Appeals has already dismissed Plaintiff's appeal, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Appeal IFP [Doc. 17] as moot.
SO ORDERED
