PLAINTIFF Case No. 5:19-cv-00209-KGB DUSTY DODSON, Jail Administrator, Dallas County Detention Center, and STAN MCGHEE, Sheriff, Dallas County DEFENDANTS ORDER Before the Court are the Proposed Findings and Recommendations submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe (Dkt. No. 8). No objections have been filed, and the deadline for filing objections has since passed.

It is ordered that plaintiff Matthew Cockburn’s complaint be dismissed without prejudice. Dismissal of this action constitutes a “strike” within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Finally, the Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis appeal from the Order and Judgment entered in this case would not be taken in good faith. It is so ordered this 23rd day of January, 2020. _________________________________ Kristine G. Baker United States District Judge
