REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION1 THAT PRO SE PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL (DOC. 42) BE DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE

MICHAEL J. NEWMAN, Magistrate Judge.

This pro se civil case is before the Court on Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") on appeal. Doc. 42. "[U]nder Rule 24(a), a non-prisoner who desires to appeal in forma pauperis must first file a motion seeking such relief with the district court." Callihan v. Schneider, 178 F.3d 800, 803 (6th Cir. 1999) (citing Fed. R. App. P. 24). "With that motion, the individual must attach an affidavit showing in detail the information prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure[,]" namely, "information detailing the individual's ability to pay or give security for fees and costs; the right to redress; and the issues the party intends to present on appeal." Id.; see also Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1). "After this required information has been filed, the district court must ascertain both the individual's pauper status and the merits of the appeal." Id.

Here, pro se Plaintiff has not complied with Appellate Rule 24 because, at the least, he has not identified the issues he intends to present on appeal as required by Appellate Rule 24(a)(1)(C). See doc. 42. Therefore, the undersigned is not able to determine whether he seeks to appeal in good faith. Accordingly, the undersigned RECOMMENDS that that pro se Plaintiff's motion for leave to appeal IFP (doc. 42) be DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to comply with Appellate Rule 24. See Burney v. Warden, No. 2:09-CV-731, 2010 WL 3365935, at *3 (S.D. Ohio Aug. 23, 2010); United States v. Ayyubi, No. 5:92CR0206, 2013 WL 4592023, at *2 (N.D. Ohio Aug. 26, 2013).

Any objections filed shall specify the portions of the Report and Recommendation objected to, and shall be accompanied by a memorandum of law in support of the objections. If the Report and Recommendation is based, in whole or in part, upon matters occurring of record at an oral hearing, the objecting party shall promptly arrange for the transcription of the record, or such portions of it as all parties may agree upon or the Magistrate Judge deems sufficient, unless the assigned District Judge otherwise directs.

A party may respond to another party's objections within FOURTEEN days after being served with a copy thereof. As noted above, this period is not extended by virtue of Fed. R. Civ.
