IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
TEXARKAN DIVISION

LONNIE JOHNSON
vs.

PLAINTIFF
Civil No. 11-cv-4099

DR. DEVIN, Jail Doctor, Sevier
County Jail

DEFENDANT

JUDGMENT
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed November 25, 2013, by the
Honorable Barry A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
(ECF No. 68). Judge Bryant recommends that Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Appeal IFP be
denied as the appeal is not taken in good faith, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). The parties have not filed
objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the time to object has passed. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 636(b)(1). Therefore, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation in toto. Plaintiff’s
motion is DENIED. The Clerk is directed to collect $455 filing fee pursuant to the terms of the
Prison Litigation Reform Act. Plaintiff may renew his motion for leave to appeal IFP with the
Court of the Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a).
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 19th day of December, 2013.
