Plaintiff, 

v. ORDER

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis, sought relief pursuant to 42

U.S.C. § 1983. Judgment was entered in this action on August 28, 2006. On September 29,

2006, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal and, on October 10, 2006, a Motion for Leave to Proceed

in Forma Pauperis on Appeal. 

The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provide as follows:

[A] party who has been permitted to proceed in an action in the

district court in forma pauperis . . . may proceed on appeal in forma

pauperis without further authorization unless . . . the district court

shall certify that the appeal is not taken in good faith or shall find

that the party is otherwise not entitled so to proceed . . . .
