UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HASSAN GOLCHINI,

Plaintiff,

v.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF 

TRUSTEES OF THE CALIFORNIA 

STATE UNIVERSITY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00296-WHO

ORDER REVOKING PLAINTIFF’S 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS

This federal civil rights action is on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 

Ninth Circuit. See Dkt. No. 10. On September 2, 2015, the Court of Appeals referred the matter 

to this Court for the limited purpose of determining whether plaintiff’s in forma pauperis (“IFP”) 

status should continue on appeal. Dkt. No. 11. 

I find that it should not. There are no valid grounds on which an appeal can be based. 

Consequently, I certify that any appeal taken from the order of dismissal in this action is plainly 

frivolous and will not be taken in good faith. See Fed. R. App. P. 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 REVOKED. 

The Clerk shall forthwith notify plaintiff and the Court of Appeals of this order. See Fed. 

R. App. P. 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 Fed. R. App. P. 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.

Dated: September 9, 2015
