UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Anthony D. Wafer (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on June 18, 2007. On August 31, 

2015, the Court dismissed this action because Plaintiff’s claims are barred by the applicable statute of 

limitations. (ECF No. 128.) Plaintiff appealed.

On September 23, 2015, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the matter back to this 

Court for the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for the 

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

finds that this appeal is not taken in bad faith and is not frivolous. Accordingly, in forma pauperis 

status should not be revoked and should continue on appeal. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
