- vs OHIO DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendations of United States
Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz (ECF No. 17), to whom this case was referred
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and noting no objections were filed thereafter, and
that the time for filing such objections under Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b) has expired,
hereby ADOPTS said Report and Recommendations.
Accordingly, the Complaint is dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff is
DENIED any requested certificate of appealability, and the Court hereby
CERTIFIES to the United States Court of Appeals that an appeal would be
objectively frivolous and therefore should not be permitted to proceed in forma
pauperis.
