IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID LOCKMILLER,

Plaintiff,

 v.

UNITED STATES, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 19-04554 WHA

ORDER RE IN FORMA

PAUPERIS STATUS ON

APPEAL

Our court of appeals has referred this matter to the undersigned judge for the limited

purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for pro se plaintiff

David Lockmiller (Dkt. No. 17). There is no evidence that plaintiff’s financial position has

changed significantly since he was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in the instant

action. Moreover, the Court cannot say that plaintiff’s appeal is so frivolous or insincere as to

deny continued in forma pauperis status. Accordingly, this order finds that he may proceed in

forma pauperis on his pending appeal. The Clerk shall please notify the United States Court of

Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 28, 2019. 

WILLIAM ALSUP
