UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT DEAN MAYS, 

 Petitioner, 

 v. 

ANTHONY HEDGPETH, Warden, 

 Respondent. 

Case No.: 11-CV-5531 YGR 

ORDER DENYING APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

This matter came before the Court for consideration of Petitioner Robert Dean Mays’ petition 

for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. section 2254 challenging his 2009 conviction in Santa 

Clara County Superior Court. The petition was denied on its merits. (Dkt. No. 9.) 

Petitioner has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. (Dkt. No. 14.) 

Because the appeal is not taken in good faith, Petitioner’s request to appeal in forma pauperis is 

DENIED. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 

The Clerk shall forthwith notify petitioner and the Court of Appeals of this order. See FRAP 

24(a)(4). Petitioner may file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal in the Court 

of Appeals within thirty days after service of notice of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(5). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Date: April 2, 2015
