ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Permission to Appeal In Forma
Pauperis (Doc. 13). United States Magistrate Judge Thomas B. Smith submitted a Report and
Recommendation (“R&R,” Doc. 14), in which he recommends that the motion be denied. Plaintiff
filed an Objection (Doc. 15).
After a de novo review of the record, the Court agrees with the analysis in the R&R.
Plaintiff’s objections are without merit. A motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis is properly
filed first with the district court, not the appellate court. Additionally, Plaintiff’s Objection fails to
address or correct the numerous deficiencies this Court has found in his Amended Complaint (Doc.
6) or assert a non-frivolous legal basis for appeal from this Court’s orders. Therefore, it is
ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
