ORDER
This matter 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 and filed with this Court on February 1, 2018 a Report and Recommendation (Doc.
2). Subsequently, the plaintiff filed objections to such Report and Recommendation (Doc. 3).
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 Recommendation should be adopted.
Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 1) is DENIED.
Plaintiff is ordered to pay the full $400 fee ($350 filing fee plus $50 administrative fee)
required to commence this action within thirty (30) days, and that plaintiff is to be notified that
his failure to pay the full $400 fee within 30 days will result in the dismissal of this action. See
In re Alea, 286 F.3d 378, 382 (6th Cir. 200).
The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915(a)(3) that for the foregoing

reasons an appeal of any Order adopting the Report and Recommendation will not be taken in
good faith. See McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601 (6th Cir. 1997).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
