OSIRIS E. LOPEZ, Plaintiff, v. ASHOK KORA, et al., Defendants.


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. Plaintiff filed a document on March 17, 2012, that does not constitute a specific and understandable objection to the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation. Nevertheless, the District Court has made a de novo review of those portions of the proposed Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation to which objection was made. The objections are overruled, and the Court ACCEPTS the Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge.

The Court CERTIFIES that any appeal of this action would not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). In support of this finding, the Court adopts and incorporates by reference the Order accepting the findings, conclusions and recommendation of the magistrate judge. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n.21 (5th Cir. 1997). Based on the above Order, 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).

SO ORDERED this 12th day of April, 2012.
