FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

JOHN L. BERNSTEIN, et. al.,

 Plaintiffs, 

 v. 

JANET DUNLOP, et al., 

 Defendants 

____________________________________/

No. C 13-1563 RS 

ORDER REVOKING IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS STATUS 

This closed action is on appeal. The Court of Appeals has referred the matter to this Court 

for a determination whether plaintiff’s in forma pauperis (“IFP”) status should continue for this 

appeal. This Court determines that it should not. There are no valid grounds on which an appeal 

can be based. Consequently, the Court certifies that any appeal taken from the order of dismissal 

and judgment of this action will not be taken in good faith and is therefore frivolous. Fed. R. App. 

P. (“FRAP”) 24(a)(3)(A); Ellis v. United States, 356 U.S. 674, 674– 75 (1958); Hooker v. American 

Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, plaintiff’s IFP status is hereby 

REVOKED. The Clerk shall forthwith notify plaintiff and the Court of Appeals of this order. See

FRAP 24(a)(4). Plaintiff may file a motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal in the Court of 

Appeals within thirty days after service of notice of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(5). Any such
