United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LEON EUGENE MORRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. PASTOR, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 10-cv-04010-WHO (PR) 

ORDER REVOKING PLAINTIFF’S 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS

This federal civil rights action is on appeal. The Court of Appeals has referred the 

matter to this Court for a determination whether plaintiff Leon Morris’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. 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, Morris’s IFP status is hereby REVOKED. The Clerk 

shall forthwith notify Morris and the Court of Appeals of this order. See Fed. R. App. P. 

24(a)(4). Morris 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: December 4, 2015
