IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MIHRETU BULTI DASISA,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-2750 LKK EFB PS

vs.

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY

BOARD OF EDUCATION (TRUSTEE),

Defendant. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, proceeding in this action in propria persona, was granted leave to proceed in

forma pauperis on January 22, 2007. However, on May 8, 2007, the court adopted findings and

recommendations of the magistrate judge and dismissed the action for failure to state a claim. 28

U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2); Fed. R. Civ. P. 8, 12. Plaintiff has filed an appeal from that order. 

Rule 24(a)(3) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that a party who was

permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court action may proceed on appeal in

forma pauperis unless the district court certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith and

states in writing its reasons for such finding. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). 

The court finds that plaintiff’s appeal is frivolous and not taken in good faith because the

underlying complaint alleged no cognizable basis for this court’s jurisdiction and failed to state a

claim for which relief could be granted. Neither the Notice of Appeal nor any other document
