ON APPEAL

(Document 24)

Plaintiff Craig B. Cooper (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on 

November 6, 2015. On November 16, 2015, the Ninth Circuit referred the appeal to this Court for 

the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for this appeal, 

or whether the appeal is frivolous or is taken in bad faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

Plaintiff’s appeal is not frivolous, nor is it taken in bad faith. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s in 

forma pauperis status should continue on appeal.
