UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LONNIE GLENN SCHMIDT,

Plaintiff,

v.

TAN THINH, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-2868 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a county jail inmate proceeding in forma pauperis, sought relief pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. Judgment was entered in this action on April 14, 2015. On April 22, 2015, 

plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. On April 27, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the 

Ninth Circuit referred this matter to the district court “for the limited purpose of determining 

whether in forma pauperis status should continue for this appeal or whether the appeal is frivolous 

or taken in bad faith.” (ECF No. 18.)

The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provide as follows:

[A] party who has been permitted to proceed in an action in the 

district court in forma pauperis . . . may proceed on appeal in forma 

pauperis without further authorization unless . . . the district court 

shall certify that the appeal is not taken in good faith or shall find 

that the party is otherwise not entitled so to proceed . . . . 

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). After review of the record herein, the court determines that plaintiff’s 

appeal is frivolous and his in forma pauperis status on appeal should be revoked. This filing
