UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO
EASTERN DIVISION
MARK R. WINKLE,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 2:14-cv-0003
JUDGE GREGORY L. FROST
Magistrate Judge Norah M. King
v.
EDMUND A. SARGUS, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
Plaintiff Mark R. Winkle is a pro se litigant seeking monetary and other damages for an
alleged conspiracy. On January 6, 2014, Plaintiff moved for leave to proceed with this case in
forma pauperis. (ECF No. 4.) The Magistrate Judge granted Plaintiff’s request. (ECF No. 8.)
On January 10, 2014, the Magistrate Judge recommended that this case be dismissed
(“R&R”). (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff objected to the R&R. (ECF No. 10.) After considering those
objections and conducting a de novo review of the R&R, the Court adopted the R&R and
dismissed Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. (ECF No. 12.) Plaintiff now appeals the Court’s
order adopting the R&R and dismissing this case. (ECF No. 14.)
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), an appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial
court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith. See also Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). For
the reasons set forth in the R&R and the Court’s March 13, 2014 Opinion & Order adopting the
R&R, the Court hereby CERTIFIES that Plaintiff’s appeal is not taken in good faith. There
exists no reasonable basis for any claims of alleged error.
