ORDER DENYING

CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY*

Before KELLY, McKAY, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.

On September 4, 2009, in Case No. 03-6093, we found that fees deducted

from Appellant’s prison account were improperly applied to his appeal in that

case. We remanded for the district court to “review its case records to determine

whether the payments attributable to the instant appeal should have been applied

in another case or appeal.” (Order at 2.) The district court followed our

direction. It determined that Appellant’s partial payments should be applied to

other cases in which Appellant owes fees, Case Nos. 94-cv-1395, 04-cv-14, and

09-cv-320.

Appellant seeks a certificate of appealability to challenge that order. 

However, it cannot reasonably be debated that the trial court’s order is correct. 

See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). We therefore DENY a

certificate of appealability and DISMISS this appeal. We do, however, GRANT

Appellant’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
