IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEJUAN L. MINOR,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-00-1339 LKK JFM P

vs.

ANTHONY C. NEWLAND, et al.,

Respondents. ORDER

 /

Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis, sought relief pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. Judgment was entered in this action on August 12, 2005. On September 16,

2005, petitioner filed a notice of appeal and a request for a certificate of appealability. On

September 30, 2005, this court granted petitioner’s request for a certificate of appealability. On

October 12, 200, petitioner filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. 

The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provide as follows:

[A] party who has been permitted to proceed in an action in the

district court in forma pauperis . . . may proceed on appeal in forma

pauperis without further authorization unless . . . the district court

shall certify that the appeal is not taken in good faith or shall find

that the party is otherwise not entitled so to proceed . . . . 

 Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). This court has separately issued a certificate of appealability, which

requires a more substantial showing than that required for an appeal to be taken in forma

pauperis. Cf. Gardner v. Pogue, 558 F.2d 548, 551 (9th Cir. 1977). Since this court has not

otherwise found that plaintiff is not entitled to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, petitioner’s

motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will be denied as unnecessary.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s

October 12, 2005 motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied as unnecessary. See

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a).

DATED: January 12, 2006.
