IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN DUNIGAN,

Petitioner, No. 2:11-cv-961-MCE-EFB P

vs.

ROBERT HICKMAN,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel, filed an application for a writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Judgment was entered in this action on August 5,

2013. On August 26, 2013, petitioner filed a notice of appeal. On September 17, 2013,

petitioner filed a request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. 

Rule 24(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that a party to a district

court action who desires to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal must file a motion in the district

court which: 

(A) shows in the detail prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms the

party’s inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs; 

(B) claims an entitlement to redress; and

(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal. 

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1). Petitioner’s motion fails to satisfy all three requirements.

Ninth Circuit, and petitioner is hereby informed that he may file a motion to proceed in forma

pauperis in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. See Fed. R. App. P.

24(a)(5).

DATED: September 20, 2013.
