ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

and

DIRECTING CLERK TO SERVE 

THE COURT OF APPEALS

(DOCUMENT #11)

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of mandate, or

mandamus, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1361. 

On December 3, 2009, judgment was entered denying the petition for writ of

mandamus. (Doc. 7.) On December 31, 2009, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and an

application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docs. 9, 11.) Examination of plaintiff’s application

to proceed in forma pauperis reveals that plaintiff is unable to afford the costs of an appeal. 

Accordingly, the application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is GRANTED. See 28

U.S.C. § 1915. The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order on the Court of Appeals

for the Ninth Circuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
