February 8, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 5 MEMORANDUM OPINION: For the reasons set forth above, Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. 1] is GRANTED.

Accordingly, this action will be DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B) and 1915(A). The Court CERTIFIES that any appeal from this action would not be tak en in good faith and would be totally frivolous. See Rule 24 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
