Plaintiff Wayne L. Pickering (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se 

and in forma pauperis in this civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed a notice of 

appeal on June 13, 2016. On June 20, 2016, the Ninth Circuit referred the appeal to this Court for 

the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for this 

appeal, or whether the appeal is frivolous or is taken in bad faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

Plaintiff’s appeal is not frivolous, nor is it taken in bad faith. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s in
