Civil Action No. 3:17-CV-1831-L-BH
ORDER
On September 15, 2017, United States Magistrate Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez entered the
Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”),
recommending that this action be dismissed without prejudice, pursuant Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41(b), for failure to prosecute or comply with a court order. No objections to the Report
were filed.
After considering the pleadings, file, the record, and Report, the court determines that the
findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court.
Accordingly, the court dismisses without prejudice this action, pursuant Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41(b), for failure to prosecute or comply with a court order.
The court prospectively certifies that any appeal of this action would not be taken in good
faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). In support of this certification, the court
accepts and incorporates by reference the Report. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 and
Order – Page 1
n.21 (5th Cir. 1997). The court concludes that any appeal of this action would present no legal point
of arguable merit and would therefore be frivolous. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir.
1983). In the event of an appeal, Plaintiff may challenge this certification by filing a separate motion
to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal with the clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202; Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5).
It is so ordered this 29th day of November, 2017.
