UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HASSAN GOLCHINI,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEANY VALDEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-07-5471 EMC

CERTIFICATION RE PLAINTIFF’S

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN

FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

Previously, this Court issued an order in which it granted Plaintiff Hassan Golchini’s

application to proceed in forma pauperis but dismissed the complaint with prejudice. It appears that

Ms. Golchini now wishes to appeal the Court’s order to the Ninth Circuit and wishes to proceed in

forma pauperis on appeal.

Under the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, “[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 unless . . . the district court -- before or after the notice of appeal is filed --

certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith or finds that the party is not otherwise entitled to

proceed in forma pauperis and states in writing its reasons for the certification or finding.” Fed. R.

App. P. 24(a)(3)(A). The Court hereby certifies that Mr. Golchini’s appeal is not taken in good

faith. As stated in the Court’s order dismissing the complaint with prejudice, the factual allegations

in the complaint are clearly baseless and fanciful.

The Court instructs the Clerk of the Court to provide a copy of this certification to the

Ninth Circuit and further instructs the Clerk to treat the papers filed by Mr. Golchini as a

notice of appeal. (Attached to Mr. Golchini’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is what

appears to be his appeal brief.)

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 11, 2008
