Morton v. George et al

Filing 9

JUDGMENT. Even liberally construing the Complaint in the light most favorable to Plaintiff, it fails to state any claim upon which relief may be granted under Section 1983. Accordingly, the Court DISMISSED this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915A. The Court CERTIFIED that any appeal from this action would not be taken in good faith and would be totally frivolous and DENIED Plaintiff leave to appeal in forma pauperis if he should file a notice of appeal.Signed by District Judge Katherine A. Crytzer on 1/17/23. (c/m Christopher Morton Bedford County Jail 110 North Creek Road Shelbyville, TN 37160 and custodian of Plaintiffs inmate trust account)(ADA)
