Date Filed Document Text
May 19, 2023 Filing 7 Filed order (MARK J. BENNETT, ERIC D. MILLER and LAWRENCE VANDYKE) The district court certified that this appeal is not taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a). On March 23, 2023, the court ordered appellant to explain in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed as frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2) (court shall dismiss case at any time, if court determines it is frivolous or malicious). Upon a review of the record, the response to the courts March 23, 2023 order, and the opening brief filed on May 1, 2023, we conclude this appeal is frivolous. We therefore deny appellants motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Entry No. [ # 4 ]) and dismiss this appeal as frivolous, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2). All other pending motions are denied as moot. No further filings will be entertained in this closed case. DISMISSED. [12719660] (WL) [Entered: 05/19/2023 04:31 PM]
