ORDER DENYING APPEAL OF MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S DECISION
The United States Magistrate Judge filed with the Court on May 27, 2016, an
Order on Plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint Counsel. ECF No. 42. Plaintiff Anthony
Machiavelli filed an appeal of the Order on June 16, 2016. ECF No. 45.
I have carefully reviewed and considered the Magistrate Judge’s Order,
together with the entire record, and have made a de novo determination of the matter
adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge’s Order. I concur with the Magistrate Judge for
the reasons set forth in his Order and determine that no further proceeding is
necessary.
It is therefore ORDERED that the Order on Plaintiff’s Motion to Appoint
Counsel (ECF No. 42) is AFFIRMED and the Plaintiff’s Appeal of the Magistrate
Judge’s Decision (ECF No. 45) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) is
DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
Dated this 14th day of July, 2016.
