UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY HANNA,

Plaintiff,

v.

RON DAVIS, et al., 

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-01339 DLB

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS 

ON APPEAL

(Document 31)

Plaintiff Timothy Hanna (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this action 

on August 28, 2014. The Court dismissed the action on July 1, 2015, and Plaintiff filed a notice of 

appeal on July 27, 2015. On August 3, 2015, 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 

forma pauperis status should continue on appeal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
