UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION
HELEN FERGUSON,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 8:16-cv-3460-T-23AEP

GETTEL ACURA,
Defendant.
____________________________________/

ORDER
The magistrate judge recommends (Doc. 68) denying Helen Ferguson’s
motion (Doc. 65) for permission to appeal in forma pauperis. Ferguson objects
(Doc. 72) to the report and recommendation. A de novo review of the report and
recommendation reveals that Ferguson’s objections are unfounded, unpersuasive, or
anticipated by the magistrate judge. The objections require no different resolution.
Accordingly, Ferguson’s objections (Doc. 72) are OVERRULED, and the report and
recommendation (Doc. 68) is ADOPTED. Ferguson’s motion (Doc. 65) to proceed
on appeal in forma pauperis is DENIED. In accord with Rule 24, Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure, the clerk is directed to notify the court of appeals.
Under Rule 24(a)(5), within thirty days of service of this order, Ferguson can
move in the court of appeals to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. The motion
under Rule 24(a)(5) must include a copy of the affidavit (Doc. 65) submitted in the

district court and the district court’s statement of reasons for denying the motion to
proceed on appeal in forma pauperis.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on October 20, 2017.
