UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Petitioner is a state prisoner who proceeded pro se with a 

petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), Petitioner consented to the 

jurisdiction of the United States Magistrate Judge to conduct all 

further proceedings in the case, including the entry of final 

judgment, by manifesting Petitioner’s consent in a writing signed by 

Petitioner and filed on January 16, 2015. On January 28, 2015, the 

Court dismissed the petition for failure to state facts warranting 

habeas corpus relief. Pending before the Court is Petitioner’s 

motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, which was filed on 

February 20, 2015.

Because Petitioner has not filed a notice of appeal, it is not 

clear that Petitioner intends to appeal from the dismissal. 

However, in an abundance of caution, the Court will consider 

Petitioner’s motion.

A party who was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the 

district court may proceed in forma pauperis on appeal without 

further authorization unless the district court certifies that the 

appeal is not taken in good faith. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). 

In this case, Petitioner proceeded in forma pauperis in this Court. 

(Doc. 2, filed December 30, 2014.) This Court has not certified 

that the appeal is not taken in good faith. 

Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis 

on appeal is GRANTED.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
