UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

----oo0oo---- 

WILLIAM KEITH, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

FRANK A. McGUIRE, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:15-cv-1498 WBS-EFB P 

Court of Appeals No. 15-17557 

ORDER REVOKING FORMA PAUPERIS 

STATUS ON APPEAL 

----oo0oo---- 

This matter has been referred to this court for the 

limited purpose of determining whether plaintiff’s pending appeal 

is taken in good faith, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). For 

the reasons set forth in the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation of 

Dismissal (Docket No. 6), the court must conclude that 

plaintiff’s appeal is frivolous and not taken in good faith. 

Plaintiff’s suit is against the Clerk of the California 

Supreme Court, and this court’s dismissal of his action was based 

upon the Clerk’s absolute quasi-judicial immunity pursuant to 

Mullis v. United States Bankruptcy Court, 828 F.2d 1385, 1390-94

(9th Cir. 1987). Because this court finds the appeal frivolous 

and not taken in good faith, it hereby REVOKES plaintiff’s forma 

pauperis status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). The Clerk of 

this court is ORDERED to lodge a copy of this Order with the 

Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth 

Circuit.
