IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID WAYNE WILSON, 2:05-cv-1649-GEB-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

TERESA A. SCHWARTZ, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, appeals the

court's final judgment entered on October 31, 2006. The matter was referred to the undersigned

by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to certify whether the appeal is taken in good faith. See 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Having reviewed the entire file, the court concludes that the appeal is not

taken in good faith. Specifically, the gravamen of plaintiff’s claim is medical malpractice, which

is not cognizable under § 1983. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976); Jackson v.

McIntosh, 90 F.3d 330, 332 (9th Cir. 1996).
