IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRED LEON JACKSON, JR., No. 05-cv-02498-MCE-GGH P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

J. ELIAS, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis, sought relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Judgment was entered in this action on February 20, 2008. On March 5, 2008,

plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. On March 24, 2008, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to proceed

in forma pauperis on appeal. 

The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provide as follows:

[A] party who has been permitted to proceed in an action in the district court in

forma pauperis . . . may proceed on appeal in forma pauperis without further

authorization unless . . . the district court shall certify that the appeal is not taken

in good faith or shall find that the party is otherwise not entitled so to proceed . . .

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). This court has not certified that plaintiff’s appeal is not taken in good

faith and has not otherwise found that plaintiff is not entitled to proceed on appeal in forma

pauperis. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will

be denied as unnecessary.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s March 24,

2008, motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied as unnecessary. See Fed. R. App.

P. 24(a).

Dated: April 10, 2008
