United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DENNIS GARDNER,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. JOHANTGEN,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-03193-WHO (PR) 

ORDER REVOKING PLAINTIFF’S 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS

This federal civil rights action is on appeal. The Court of Appeals has referred the 

matter to this Court for a determination whether plaintiff Dennis Gardner’s in forma 

pauperis (“IFP”) status should continue for this appeal. This Court determines that it 

should not. There are no valid grounds on which an appeal can be based. Consequently, 

the Court certifies that any appeal taken from the order of dismissal and judgment of this 

action will not be taken in good faith and is therefore frivolous. Fed. R. App. P. 

24(a)(3)(A); Ellis v. United States, 356 U.S. 674, 674-75 (1958); Hooker v. American 

Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, Gardner’s IFP status is hereby 

REVOKED. 

The Clerk shall forthwith notify Gardner and the Court of Appeals of this order. 

See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(4). Gardner may file a motion for leave to proceed IFP on 

appeal in the Court of Appeals within thirty days after service of notice of this order. See 

Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). Any such motion “must include a copy of the affidavit filed in 

the district court and the district court’s statement of reasons for its action.” Id. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: September 2, 2015
