ORDER

The court has before it plaintiff Henry Ekweani’s motion requesting a transcript at the

government’s expense (doc. 158).

We granted plaintiff leave to appeal in forma pauperis (doc. 156) from our orders

granting in part defendant Ameriprise Financial Inc.’s motion for summary judgment on

February 8, 2010 (doc. 124), denying plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration on February 26,

2010 (doc. 143), and granting defendant’s motion in limine construed as one for summary

frivolous (but presents a substantial question).” 28 U.S.C. § 753(f). Because he fails to show

why his appeal raises a substantial question and how a transcript of the final pretrial

conference is “necessary” within the meaning of Rule 10(b)(1)(A), Fed. R. App. P., and

§ 753(f), IT IS ORDERED DENYING plaintiff’s motion requesting a transcript at the

government’s expense (doc. 158).

DATED this 16th day of April, 2010.
