Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-1108 GEB JFM P

vs.

CDC OFFICER SHERBIN, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. On July 14,

2005, plaintiff filed a document entitled “Amended Notice of Motion and Motion for Leave to

Appeal In Forma Pauperis.” Plaintiff renews his April 12, 2005 request to appeal from “the

judgment entered on March 15, 2005.” The Clerk of the Court will be directed to process 1

plaintiff’s interlocutory appeal. 

Plaintiff requests leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Rule 24 of the

Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides as follows:

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 . . .

certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith or finds that the

party is not otherwise entitled to proceed in forma pauperis . . . . 

Fed. R. App. 24(a)(3). Thus, plaintiff’s request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will be

denied as unnecessary.

Plaintiff also filed a request for trial transcripts and excerpts of record to be

prepared at government expense. Title 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) states:

Fees for transcripts furnished in other proceedings to persons

permitted to appeal in forma pauperis shall also be paid by the

United States if the trial judge or circuit judge certifies that the

appeal is not frivolous (but presents a substantial question).

Id.

In the instant case, neither the trial judge or circuit judge has certified that the

appeal was taken in good faith. Accordingly, plaintiff’s request will be denied without prejudice.

In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to process plaintiff’s April 12, 2005 appeal; 

2. Plaintiff's July 14, 2005 request for leave to appeal in forma pauperis is denied;

and

3. Plaintiff’s July 14, 2005 request for transcripts is denied without prejudice.

DATED: July 27, 2005.
