United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MIGUEL CABRERA,

Petitioner,

v.

NEIL MCDOWELL, Warden,

Respondent.

Case No. 14-cv-02494-YGR (PR)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

This matter came before the Court for consideration of Petitioner’s pro se petition for a 

writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On June 28, 2016, the Court denied the petition as 

to all claims. Dkt. 15. 

Before the Court is Petitioner’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. 

Dkt. 21. 

In its June 28, 2016 Order, the Court denied a certificate of appealability because Petitioner 

had not shown that “jurists of reason would not find this Court’s denial of Petitioner’s claims 

debatable or wrong.” Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000). For the same reason, the 

Court finds that Petitioner’s appeal is not taken in “good faith” and consequently his request for 

leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis (Dkt. 21) is DENIED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).

This Order terminates Docket No. 21.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated:
