CIVIL CASE NO. 3:18-CV-1383-M-BK
ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The United States Magistrate Judge made Findings, Conclusions, and a Recommendation
in this case. No objections were filed. The Court reviewed the proposed Findings, Conclusions,
and Recommendation for plain error. Finding none, the Court ACCEPTS the Findings,
Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See FED. R. CIV. P. 12(h)(3).
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 adopts and incorporates by reference the Magistrate Judge’s Findings,
Conclusions, and Recommendation. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 and n.21 (5th Cir.
1997). Based on the Findings and Recommendation, the Court finds 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).1 In the event of an appeal, Plaintiff may
challenge this certification by filing a separate motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal
Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a) governs the time to appeal an order. A timely notice
of appeal must be filed even if the district court certifies an appeal as not taken in good faith.
