IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JEFFERSON A. MCGEE,

Plaintiff, 2:05-cv-2632-GEB-EFB-PS

CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE, 

et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a complaint and paying the filing fee on December

30, 2005. Judgment was entered on January 26, 2007. On February 1, 2007, plaintiff filed a

notice of appeal and a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. 

Rule 24(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that a party desiring

to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal must file a motion with the district court. The party must

attach to the motion an affidavit that: (1) shows the party’s inability to pay or give security for

fees and costs, (2) claims an entitlement to redress, and (3) states the issues that the party intends

to present on appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1). 

Plaintiff has filed an affidavit demonstrating his inability to pay or give security for costs

and fees. However, plaintiff’s affidavit does not claim an entitlement to redress, nor does it state

the issues that the party intends to present on appeal.
