IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAKENYA R. BOLDEN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-08-1481 GEB EFB

vs.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, ORDER

Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant. 

 /

On July 7, 2008, the undersigned granted plaintiff’s request to proceed in this action in

forma pauperis. Dckt. No. 3. Plaintiff has now filed an application to proceed in forma

pauperis on appeal. Dckt. No. 31. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(3),

“[a] party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district-court action . . . may

proceed on appeal in forma pauperis without further authorization,” unless the district court

certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith or finds that the party is not otherwise entitled

to proceed in forma pauperis, or unless a statute provides otherwise. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). 

Because the district court has not certified that the appeal is not taken in good faith and has not

found that plaintiff is not otherwise entitled to proceed in forma pauperis, the application to

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, Dckt. No. 31, is denied as unnecessary. 

SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 27, 2010.
