FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAUL ANTHONY RUPE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2630 LKK DAD P

vs.

J.S. WOODWARD, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On April 24, 2006, this action was dismissed for failure to state a cognizable

claim and judgment was entered that same day. On May 5, 2006, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal

from the judgment. On May 10, 2006, the Clerk of the Court notified plaintiff that he was

required to pay the filing fee of $455.00 associated with the appeal since this court had not

granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis. On May 16, 2006, plaintiff filed a letter 1

with this court requesting leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. The court will direct the

Clerk of the Court to send plaintiff the appropriate application form.
