UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN DEAN PARKS, 

Plaintiff,

v.

T. PETERSON, R.N., and REYES, M.D, 

Defendants.

___________________________________/

No. C-12-1352 EMC (pr)

ORDER REVOKING IN FORMA

PAUPERIS STATUS

This closed federal civil rights action, which this Court dismissed without prejudice for

failure to exhaust administrative remedies, is on appeal. The Court of Appeals has referred the

matter to this Court for a determination whether Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis (“IFP”) status should

continue for this appeal. This Court determines that it should not. There are no valid grounds on

which an appeal can be based. Consequently, the Court certifies that any appeal taken from the

order of dismissal and judgment of this action is not taken in good faith and is therefore frivolous. 

Fed. R. App. P. (“FRAP”) 24(a)(3)(A) (party granted leave to proceed IFP in district court may

continue in that status on appeal unless the district court certifies that appeal is not taken in good

faith); Ellis v. United States, 356 U.S. 674, 674–75 (1958); Hooker v. American Airlines, 302 F.3d

1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 2002).
