IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TELICIA Y. BENSON,

Plaintiff, 

vs. Case No. 2:08cv0886-LKK-JFM PS

CALIFORNIA CORRECTIONAL

PEACE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION,

ET AL.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

This action was dismissed on February 24, 2010. Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro

se, filed an in forma pauperis affidavit on March 26, 2010 together with a notice of appeal. In

support of her application, plaintiff indicates that she is presently unemployed and is in receipt of

unemployment benefits. 

A party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court may

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal without further authorization unless the district court

certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). In this case,

plaintiff paid the filing fee and did not proceed in this court in forma pauperis. Thus, plaintiff is

not automatically entitled to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.

Rule 24(a) (1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure states that a party who

desires to appeal in forma pauperis must file a motion in the district court and attach to that

motion a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis, claim an entitlement to redress and

a statement of the issues the party intends to present on appeal. Plaintiff’s application to proceed

in forma pauperis does not claim an entitlement to redress and does not present the issues she

intends to present on appeal. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s March 26, 2010 request

to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED.

DATED: April 8, 2010.
