Petitioner has complied with these requirements and there is no indication he is 

proceeding in bad faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) (providing appeal may not be taken in forma 

pauperis where appeal “is not taken in good faith”); see, e.g., Brittain v. Mayberg, 286 F. App’x 

444, 444-45 (9th Cir. 2008) (granting habeas petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on 

appeal, even though certificate of appealability had been denied and “questions raised [on] appeal 

[were] so insubstantial as to not require further argument”). 

 Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that petitioner’s October 9, 2015 

request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 20) is granted. 

DATED: October 14, 2015.
