IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLARENCE A. GIPBSIN, No. 2:07-cv-0157 MCE EFB P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

SCOTT KERNAN, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, who proceeds in forma pauperis on appeal, seeks a copy of the trial

transcript at the government’s expense. Transcript fees shall “be paid by the United States if the

trial judge or a circuit judge certifies that the appeal is not frivolous (but presents a substantial

question).” 28 U.S.C. § 753(f); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(c); McKinney v. Anderson, 924 F.2d 1500,

1511 (9th Cir. 1991). Plaintiff fails to show that his appeal presents a substantial question or that

he is otherwise entitled to a transcript at the government’s expense. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s request for a copy of the

trial transcript at the government’s expense is GRANTED.

Dated: December 20, 2012
