ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST

FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPEALABILITY

(Document 12)

Plaintiff Joseph Andre Flaunders (“Plaintiff”) filed a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of

Civil Procedure 60(b) on July 26, 2006. On August 11, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued an

order to return the filing to Plaintiff. 

Plaintiff filed a previous request for certificate of appealability on November 27, 2006. In

an order dated December 13, 2006, the Court denied his request. The Court explained that 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) provides that an appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court

certifies in writing that the appeal is not taken in good faith. Because the Court found that the

appeal was not taken in good faith, it denied his certificate of appealability. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
