UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IN RE: NAEEM AHMAD No. 2:16-mc-0049-JAM-KJN PS

ORDER

On March 9, 2016, the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit 

ransferred this action to the district court for the limited purpose of adjudicating the appellant

Naeem Ahmad’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. 

(ECF No. 1.) 

This court has considered the motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) and the 

other materials attached to the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s order, including the certification by 

the bankruptcy judge that the appeal is not taken in good faith for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(a)(3). Having carefully reviewed the record, the court agrees with the bankruptcy judge’s 

analysis and finds that the appeal is not being taken in good faith. As such, Mr. Ahmad is not 

entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is DENIED.
