UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNY M. BROWN,

Petitioner,

v.

JOSIE GASTELO, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 17-cv-01409-YGR (PR)

ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON 

APPEAL; DIRECTIONS TO CLERK

This closed federal habeas action was filed by a pro se state prisoner. Petitioner had filed 

the above-titled petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On December 

9, 2019, the Court granted Respondent’s motion to dismiss the petition as untimely, dismissed this 

action with prejudice, and denied a certificate of appealability. Dkt. 77.

Petitioner has since filed a notice of appeal from the Court’s December 9, 2019 Order. 

Dkt. 79. Petitioner has also requested to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Dkt. 82. 

In its December 9, 2019 Order, the Court declined to issue a certificate of appealability and 

determined there were no valid grounds for an appeal. Consequently, Petitioner fails to show 

good cause to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. 

Accordingly, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is hereby DENIED. Dkt. 

82.

The Clerk of the Court shall send a copy of this Order to Petitioner and to the Ninth Circuit 

Court of Appeals, wherein Petitioner may renew his motion. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). 

This Order terminates Docket No. 82.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
