Mr. Gillespie has filed a Notice of Appeal (Doc. 23), and he has now moved for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (Doc. 25). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3), [a]n appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith. For the reasons stated in the Courts Orders dated March 7, 2013 and April 12, 2013 (Docs. 19, 24), it is clear that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this matter, and therefore Mr. Gillespies appeal of the dismissal of his case on that ground is utterly frivolous. In addition, Mr. Gillespie seeks to raise several issues on appeal regarding the Courts purported failure to sanction the Plaintiff under Fed. R. Civ. P. 11, failure to sustain Mr. Gillespies objections to the Magistrate Judges reports and recommendations, and failure of the Court to recuse itself (Doc. 23). The Court has also addressed these issues in its prior orders and found them to be without any legal merit. Therefore, Mr. Gillespies appeal of these issues is also frivolous. As such, the Court certifies that Mr. Gillespies appeal has not been taken in good faith, and his motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (Doc. 25) is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. DONE and ORDERED at Ocala, Florida this 9th day of May, 2013.
