UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL QUINTERO,

Plaintiff,

v.

TRISTAIN LEMON, et al.

Defendants.

No. 1:23-cv-01233-KES-SAB (PC)

Appeal No. 24-7208

ORDER REGARDING IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS STATUS ON APPEAL 

(ECF No. 27)

On October 22, 2024, the instant action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, was dismissed, 

for failure to state a cognizable claim for relief and judgment was entered. (ECF Nos. 21, 22.) 

On November 14, 2024, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. (ECF No. 23.) On November 

25, 2024, Plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. (ECF No. 24.) 

On December 3, 2024, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the matter back to this 

Court for the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for 

the appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). (ECF No. 27.) The Court finds that this appeal is not taken 

in bad faith and is not frivolous. Accordingly, in forma pauperis status should not be revoked 

and should continue on appeal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 6, 2024
