(X) The application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is DENIED because the Court certifies pursuant t and Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3) 0 28 U.S.C.§ 1915(a)(3) and Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3) that the appeal is not taken in good faith. In support of this certification, the Court incorporates by reference the magistrate judge’s findings, conclusions, and recommendation, filed in this case on September 3, 2019 (doc. 16). Based on those findings, this Court finds that the appeal presents no legal points of arguable merit and is therefore frivolous. (X) Although this court has certified that the appeal is not taken in good faith under 28 US. C. § 1915(a)(3) and Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3), the plaintiff may challenge this finding under Baugh v. Taylor,

(Sth Cir. 1997), by filing a separate motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal with the Clerk of Court, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, within 30 days of this order. The Clerk’s Office is DIRECTED to forward the application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (doc. 60) to the Fifth Circuit. DATE: January 10, 2020 / /
