UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CONNIE H. SEBASTIAN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ALLSTATE CORPORATION, ET AL., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 13-cv-04850-YGR 

ORDER REVOKING IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

STATUS

This closed action, which is currently on appeal, was filed by a pro se plaintiff. The Court 

of Appeals has referred the matter to this Court for a determination of whether Plaintiff’s in forma 

pauperis (“IFP”) status should continue for this appeal. This Court determines that it should not. 

There are no valid grounds on which an appeal can be based. Consequently, the Court certifies 

that any appeal taken from the order of dismissal and judgment of this action will not be taken in 

good faith and is therefore frivolous. Fed. R. App. P. (“FRAP”) 24(a)(3)(A); Ellis v. United 

States, 356 U.S. 674, 674– 75 (1958); Hooker v. American Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 

2002). Accordingly, plaintiff’s IFP status is hereby REVOKED. The Clerk shall forthwith notify 

plaintiff and the Court of Appeals of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(4). Plaintiff may file a motion 

for leave to proceed IFP on appeal in the Court of Appeals within thirty days after service of 

notice of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(5). Any such motion “must include a copy of the affidavit 

filed in the district court and the district court’s statement of reasons for its action.” Id.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
