UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION RENEE BELL, Plaintiff, v. Case No: 6:05-cv-1806-Orl-31DAB FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL and LARRY COSTANZO, Defendants. ORDER This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Appeal in forma pauperis (Doc. 169). On March 25, 2014, Magistrate Judge Baker issued a Report and Recommendation finding that the Appeal is not taken in good faith; recommending that the Motion be denied (Doc. 170). Plaintiff filed an objection to the Report and Recommendation on April 2, 2014 (Doc. 172). Plaintiff’s objection to the Report and Recommendation is without merit and is therefore OVERRULED. The Court finds and hereby certifies that Plaintiff’s appeal is not taken in good faith because it is frivolous. It is therefore ORDERED that: 1. The Report and Recommendation is CONFIRMED and ADOPTED as part of this Order; and 2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Appeal in forma pauperis is DENIED. DONE and ORDERED in Chambers, Orlando, Florida on April 4, 2014.   Copies furnished to: Counsel of Record Unrepresented Party -2-
