UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAUL ERNEST ALONSO-PRIETO,

 Plaintiff,

v.

B. PIERCE,

 Defendant.

Case No. 1:11-cv-00024-MJS (PC)

ORDER DENYING AS MOOT MOTION 

TO CONTINUE IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

STATUS ON APPEAL

(ECF No. 90)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil 

rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 10, 2014, the action 

was dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure to obey a court order and failure to prosecute. (ECF 

No. 80.) Plaintiff appealed. (ECF No. 84.) 

On January 5, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit 

referred the matter to this Court to determine whether Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status 

should be revoked. (ECF No. 88.) This Court did not respond to the referral notice within 

twenty-one days, and Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status therefore was continued 

automatically pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a).

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s February 12, 2015 motion for continued in forma 

pauperis status on appeal. (ECF No. 90.) In light of the automatic continuation of

Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status pursuant to Rule 24(a), his motion is HEREBY 

DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
