ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Plaintiff Djoachim Lockhart initiated this lawsuit on November 17, 2022, and was granted pauper status on November 18, 2022. On December 5, 2022, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation, recommending that the action be dismissed upon initial screening pursuant to

(e)(2). The Report and Recommendation was duly served on the parties. No objections have been filed. See

(b)(1). Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (ECF. No. 5) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the Opinion of the Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Complaint is DISMISSED for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that for the same reasons the Court concludes that Plaintiff’s claims are properly dismissed, the Court also concludes that any issue Plaintiff might raise on appeal would be frivolous. Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). Accordingly, the Court certifies that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. A Judgment will be entered consistent with this Order.
