No. 05-CV-2546-PHX-FJM

ORDER

The court has before it plaintiff's motion for reconsideration (doc. 39) of the matters

resolved in our Order dated December 20, 2005 (doc. 36). The motion is denied because it

simply restates the arguments of plaintiff's original briefings. Plaintiff's accusation of bribery

and other ethical violations, Motion for Reconsideration at 3, is utterly baseless. Plaintiff's

accusation of discrimination against plaintiff based upon his race, religion, disability, veteran

status, or pro se status, id. at 5, is utterly baseless. We urge plaintiff to seek the advice of a

lawyer. Lawyers are trained to evaluate cases. An evaluation of this case by a lawyer may

help plaintiff understand and accept the outcome despite his disappointment. 

The court also has before it plaintiff's motion for leave to file an appeal in forma

pauperis (doc. 41). The motion may be granted if the party can show an inability to pay the

appellate docket fee. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1)(A). Plaintiff did not move for leave to file his

complaint in forma pauperis, and he paid the filing fee (doc. 1). Moreover, plaintiff has an

income of over $3,000 per month, Affidavit at 2, which is over three times higher than the

income of a single person family unit considered impoverished under the 2005 Department

of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines. Annual Update of HHS Poverty

Guidelines, 70 Fed. Reg. 8,373, 8,374 (Feb. 18, 2005). Accordingly, we conclude that

plaintiff has not shown an inability to pay the appellate docket fee.

IT IS ORDERED DENYING plaintiff's motion for reconsideration (doc. 39).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED DENYING plaintiff's motion for leave to appeal in

forma pauperis (doc. 41).

DATED this 20th day of January, 2006.
