UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DANNY JAMES COHEA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CHERYL K. PLILER, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:00-cv-2799-GEB-EFB P 

ORDER 

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis and without counsel, brought an 

action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Judgment was entered on August 4, 2015. On September 9, 

2015, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and a request to proceed in forma pauperis. The Federal 

Rules of Appellate Procedure provide as follows: 

A party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district-court action 

. . . may proceed on appeal in forma pauperis without further authorization unless 

the district court . . . certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith or finds that 

the party is not otherwise entitled to proceed in forma pauperis . . . . 

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). This court has not certified that plaintiff’s appeal is not taken in good 

faith and has not otherwise found that he is not entitled to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 342) is denied as unnecessary. 

DATED: September 25, 2015.
