EDWARD V. RAY,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. LEAL, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 11-cv-05550-YGR (PR)

ORDER REVOKING IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS STATUS

This closed federal civil rights action was filed by a pro se state prisoner. Summary 

judgment was granted in favor of Defendants, and judgment entered on March 31, 2015. Dkts. 57, 

58. On January 28, 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed this Court’s ruling. Dkt. 

66. On April 26, 2016, the Ninth Circuit denied Petitioner’s petition for panel rehearing. Dkt. 69. 

The mandate issued on May 6, 2016. Dkt. 70.

On July 29, 2016, this Court denied Plaintiff’s motion to vacate the judgment. Dkt. 72.

On August 22, 2016, Plaintiff filed another Notice of Appeal. Dkt. 73.

The Ninth Circuit 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 its March 31, 2015 Order Granting Defendants’ 

Motion for Summary Judgment and from the accompanying 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.
