ORDER GRANTING

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION

FOR PERMISSION 

TO APPEAL 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS.

The Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff Olando Graves' motion for

permission to appeal in forma pauperis. 

Rule 24(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure

requires that a motion to a district court for leave to appeal in

forma pauperis be accompanied by an affidavit showing: "(A) . . .

the party's inability to pay or give security for fees and costs;

(B) claims an entitlement to redress; and (C) states the issues

that the party intends to present on appeal." Plaintiff's

affidavit attached to his Motion includes only information which

satisfies part A of these requirements. However, excluding

certain conditions that do not apply here, Rule 24(a)(3) of the

Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that "[a] party who

was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district-court

action . . . may proceed on appeal in forma pauperis without

further authorization." In an order issued on February 17, 2006,

Judge Charles Breyer granted Plaintiff's motion to proceed in

forma pauperis in the district-court action underlying Plaintiff's

appeal. Plaintiff, therefore, was not required to seek leave of

this Court to appeal in forma pauperis, and so the Court will not

withhold such leave on the basis of the deficiencies in

Plaintiff's affidavit discussed above. 

For the aforementioned reasons, Plaintiff's motion for

permission to appeal in forma pauperis is hereby GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 6,2006
