ORDER REVOKING IFP STATUS

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSE LOPEZ,

Plaintiff, 

v.

MATTHEW CATE, et al., 

Defendants. /

No. C 11-2644 YGR (PR)

ORDER REVOKING IN FORMA

PAUPERIS STATUS

This closed federal civil rights action, which is currently on appeal, was filed by a pro

se state prisoner. The Court of Appeals has referred the matter to this Court for a

determination 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. 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. The Clerk shall

forthwith notify plaintiff and the Court of Appeals of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(4). 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
