JAMES DOUGLAS SMITH Plaintiff,v.CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA, et al. Defendants.
Before the Court is a pro se prisoner complaint (Docket Entry No. 1) under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and an amendment to the complaint (Docket Entry No. 5).
By Order (Docket Entry No. 8) previously entered, the Plaintiff was granted pauper status. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Having granted the Plaintiff pauper status, he is herewith ASSESSED the civil filing fee of $350.00. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1)(A) and (B), the custodian of the Plaintiff's inmate trust account at the institution where he now resides is directed to submit to the Clerk of Court, as an initial partial payment, whichever is greater of:
In accordance with the Memorandum filed herewith, this action is hereby DISMISSED with prejudice. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
An appeal of the judgment rendered herein would not be taken in good faith. Coppedge v. United States , 369 U.S. 438, 445-446 (1962). Therefore, the Plaintiff is NOT certified to pursue an appeal of this judgment in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Nevertheless, should the Plaintiff decide to file a notice of appeal, he must either pay the Clerk of Court the full appellate filing fee of five hundred five dollars ($505.00) or submit a new application to proceed in forma pauperis with a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the previous six month period. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1); McGore v. Wrigglesworth , 114 F.3d 601 (6th Cir. 1997).
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the Warden of the Metro Davidson County Detention Facility to ensure that the custodian of Plaintiff's inmate trust account complies with that portion of the Prison Litigation Reform Act relating to the payment of the filing fee.
