UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION

Gregory Walker Johnson,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 1:14-cv-819

v.

Judge Michael H. Watson

Apple Inc., ef a/.,
Defendants.
OPINION AND ORDER

On May 18, 2015, the Court issued an Opinion and Order adopting the
Magistrate Judge's R&R recommending dismissal of Plaintiffs Complaint. ECF

No. 16. In so doing, the Court certified that an appeal of that Opinion and Order
would not be taken in good faith. Id. at 3.

On May 28, 2015, Plaintiff moves for leave to appeal the Court's May 18

Opinion and Order in forma pauperis. ECF No. 19. On June 1, 2015, the
Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation ("R&R") recommending
that Plaintiff's motion be denied. ECF No. 21.

Plaintiff did not object to the R&R; rather, on June 10, 2015, he filed
another motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. ECF No. 23.

On June 30, 2015, the Magistrate Judge issued another R&R
recommending that Plaintiffs second motion for leave to appeal in forma
pauperis be denied. ECF No. 27. Plaintiff timely objected. ECF No. 30.

For the reasons outlined in the Court's May 18,2015 Opinion and Order,
ECF No. 16, the Court OVERRULES Plaintiffs objection, ECF No. 30, and
ADOPTS both the June 1, 2015 R&R and the June 30, 2015 R&R. Plaintiffs'

motions for leave to appeal in forma pauperis, ECF Nos. 19 and 23, are therefore
DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

MICHAEL H. WATSON, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Case No. 1:14-cv-819
