JUDGE CRENSHAW

ORDER

The Court has before it a pro se civil Complaint (Doc. No. 1) and an Application to proceed
in forma pauperis (Doc. No. 2).
The Plaintiff is a resident of Clarksville, Tennessee. It appears from the Application that he
lacks sufficient financial resources from which to pay the fee required to file the Complaint.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Application to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. 28 U.S.C. §
1915(a).
In accordance with the Memorandum contemporaneously entered, the Complaint fails to
state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Consequently, this action is hereby DISMISSED.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
An appeal of the judgment rendered herein would not be taken in good faith. Coppedge v.
United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445-446 (1962). Therefore, the Plaintiff is NOT certified to pursue an
appeal of this judgment in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Nevertheless, should the Plaintiff
decide to file a Notice of Appeal, he must either pay the Clerk of Court the full appellate filing fee

1

of five hundred five dollars ($505) or submit a new Application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Entry of this order shall constitute the judgment in this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
