MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS, For the foregoing reasons, the Court grants the motions to dismiss filed by Showtime andSony Pictures, Dkt. No. 84; ABC, Dkt. No. 90; Imagine Television, Dkt. No. 92; WMA, Dkt. No. 96; Hank Az aria, Dkt. No. 106; Twentieth Century Fox, Dkt. No. 108; and Little Chicken, Dkt. No. 119. Imagine Television's motion for joinder is also granted. Dkt. No. 115. Additionally, upon de novo review, the Court finds Magistrate Judge Bloom's R& R to be correct, well-reasoned and free of reversible error. The Court, therefore, adopts the R&R in its entirety, supplemented by this Memorandum & Order, as the opinion of the Court. See Dkt. No 137. In line with Judge Bloom's recommendation, Danny Strong's motion to quash service, Dkt. No. 27, and Lee Daniels Entertainment's motion to quash service, Dkt. No. 131, are granted. Because the Court determines that any prospective amended complaint would be futile further leave to am end or, for the same reasons, effect proper service is denied. Plaintiffs motions for default judgment, Dkt. Nos. 89, 133, are denied. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), that any appeal from this Memorandum & Order would not b e taken in good faith and, therefore, in forma pauperis is denied for the purpose of any appeal. See Coppedge v. United States^ 369 U.S. 438,444-45, 82 S. Ct. 917,920-21, 8 L. Ed. 2d 21 (1962). (Judge Bloom's original R&R, Dkt. #110, is terminat ed as moot.) The Clerk of Court is directed to send a copy of this Memorandum & Order to the pro se plaintiff, enter judgment accordingly and close this case. (Ordered by Judge Eric N. Vitaliano on 7/16/2019) C/M Fwd. for Judgment. (Galeano, Sonia)
