No. C 14-05553 EJD (PR)

ORDER REVOKING IN FORMA

PAUPERIS STATUS ON APPEAL

Plaintiff, a California state prisoner, filed the instant civil rights actions pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 28, 2016, the Court granted Defendant’s motion for

judgment on the pleadings, finding the action was barred under Heck v. Humphrey, 512

U.S. 477 (1994) and Wilkinson v. Dotson, 544 U.S. 74 (2005). (Docket No. 85.) 

Plaintiff appealed the matter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit has

referred this matter back to this Court for the limited purpose of determining whether in

forma pauperis status should continue for the appeal. (Docket No. 89.) The Court finds

the appeal is frivolous, and therefore REVOKES Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

The Clerk shall send a copy of this order to the Ninth Circuit. 

DATED: EDWARD J. DAVILA
