Case No. 1:15-cv-538
Judge Timothy S. Black
Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz

DECISION AND ENTRY ADOPTING THE REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
(Doc. 4)
This case is before the Court pursuant to the Order of General Reference in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio Western Division to United
States Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz. Pursuant to such reference, the Magistrate
Judge reviewed the pleadings filed with this Court and, on August 19, 2015, submitted a
Report and Recommendations. (Doc. 4). No objections were filed.
As required by 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b), the Court has
reviewed the comprehensive findings of the Magistrate Judge and considered de novo all
of the filings in this matter.

Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court does

determine that such Report and Recommendations should be and is hereby adopted in its
entirety. Accordingly:
1.

The Report and Recommendations (Doc. 4) is ADOPTED;

2.

Plaintiff’s Complaint is DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section
1915(e)(2)(B);

3.

The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal of this
Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore DENIES Plaintiff
leave to appeal in forma pauperis. He remains free, however, to apply to
proceed in forma pauperis in the Court of Appeals; and

4.

The Clerk shall enter judgment according, whereupon this civil action is
TERMINATED in this Court. 1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: 10/2/2015
