August 1, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER: The Court ADOPTS the R&Rs (1:25-cv-436, Doc. #7 ; 1:25-cv-437, Doc. #6 ). Specifically, the Court DISMISSES Ekeh's claims against the Clark County Municipal Court WITH PREJUDICE, and the Court DISMISSES Ekeh's other claims WITHOUT PREJUDICE, which, in turn, means the Court DISMISSES his Complaints in both cases. Beyond that, the Court CERTIFIES, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a) (3), that an appeal of this Order would not be made in good faith, thus DENYING Ekeh leave to appeal IFP. But as a non-prisoner, Ekeh may nonetheless apply directly to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to proceed IFP in that court, should he wish. Signed by Judge Douglas R. Cole on 8/1/25.
