UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMISI JERMAINE CALLOWAY,

Plaintiff,

v.

A. K. SCRIBNER, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:11-cv-00803 DLB PC

Appeal No. 14-17431

NOTICE AND ORDER FINDING THAT 

APPEAL WAS TAKEN IN GOOD FAITH

(ECF No. 71)

Plaintiff Jamisi Jermaine Calloway, a prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 17, 2011. On December 2, 

2014, the Court dismissed the complaint and directed the Clerk of Court to close the case. 

Judgment was entered on the same date. Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on December 10, 2014, 

and on January 22, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit referred the 

matter to the district court for a determination whether in forma pauperis status should continue 

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

An appeal is taken in good faith if the appellant seeks review of any issue that is not 

frivolous. Gardner v. Pogue, 558 F.2d 548, 550-51 (9th Cir. 1977); see also Hooker v. American 

Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 2002) (if at least one issue or claim is non-frivolous, the 

appeal must proceed in forma pauperis as a whole). In this case, the Court does not find that the 

appeal is frivolous or taken in bad faith.

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS as follows:

1. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a)(3), the Court finds that the appeal is not frivolous 

or taken in bad faith; and

2. The Clerk of the Court shall serve this order on Plaintiff and the Court of Appeals 

for the Ninth Circuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
