 This matter is currently on remand from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for a

determination of fact which will determine the timeliness of the appeal. That finding will be

made, and the case returned for consideration by the Court of Appeals, once the factual evidence

is obtained necessary for the finding.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA

SOUTHERN DIVISION

ANDREW JACKSON SMITH,

AIS# 228252, :

Plaintiff, :

vs. : CIVIL ACTION 07-0268-CG-B

TROY KING, et al., :

Defendants. :

ORDER

After due and proper consideration of all portions of this file deemed relevant to the

issues raised, and a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation

to which objection is made, the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge made

under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) is ADOPTED as the opinion of this Court. The Court finds that

the issues plaintiff seeks to raise on appeal, are “without arguable merit in law or fact,” and

therefore are not brought in good faith. Therefore, plaintiff’s motion for leave to appeal in

forma pauperis is DENIED.1

DONE and ORDERED this 4th day of May, 2010.
