Mitchell v. Greenville Property Owners LLC

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS DALLAS DIVISION

AKELA J. MITCHELL, § § Plaintiff, § § v. § Civil Action No. 3:21-CV-3103-L-BH § GREENVILLE PROPERTY § OWNERS, LLC, § § Defendant. §

ORDER

The Findings, Conclusions and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (“Report”) (Doc. 9) was entered on February 16, 2022, recommending that this action be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute and comply with a court order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). No objections to the Report were filed as of the date of this order, and the deadline for filing objections has expired. Having considered the file, record in this case, and Report, the court determines that the findings and conclusions of the magistrate judge are correct, and accepts them as those of the court. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 41(b), the court dismisses without prejudice this action for failure to prosecute and comply with a court order. Further, the court directs the clerk of the court to term Plaintiff’s Motion to Intervene With An Injunction (Doc. 9). The court prospectively certifies that any appeal of this action would not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). In support of this certification, the court accepts and incorporates by reference the Report. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 and n.21 (5th Cir. 1997). Based on the Report, the court finds that any appeal of this action would present no legal point of arguable merit and would, therefore, be frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (Sth Cir. 1983). In the event of an appeal, Plaintiff may challenge this certification by filing a separate motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal with the clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202; Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). It is so ordered this 8th day of March, 2022.
