court which: 

(A) shows in the detail prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms the

party’s inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs; 

(B) claims an entitlement to redress; and

(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal.

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied without prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is

directed to serve a copy of this order on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit,

United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5).
