IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DESMON LOEB,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0730 LKK EFB P

vs.

T. FELKER, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis, sought relief

and was denied relief for alleged civil rights violations. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 28,

2007, the Clerk of the Court entered judgment. On April 20, 2007, plaintiff filed a notice of

appeal. On June 14, 2007, plaintiff filed a request for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on

appeal. On July 23, 2007, this court found that plaintiff’s appeal was not taken in good faith. 

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). This court has determined that plaintiff’s appeal is not taken in good

faith.
