IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

OMAR F. MOUSA,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA; SANTA CLARA

COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY;

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE;

PROBATION DEPARTMENT

Defendant.

No. C-06-01992 RMW

ORDER AFFIRMING DENIAL OF LEAVE

TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

The court is in receipt of Omar Mousa's letter requesting reconsideration of the denial of

his application to proceed in forma pauperis. There are two requirements to proceed in forma

pauperis: poverty and merit to the underlying suit. See O'Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 618 (9th

Cir. 1990). The relief Mousa requests in his complaint against various California state entities is

an investigation and a writ of mandate or prohibition. There is no basis for federal jurisdiction

over such a suit. The denial of leave to proceed is in forma pauperis affirmed.
