UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LISA BARICEVIC,

Plaintiff,

No. 2:15-cv-1541-KJN

ORDER

On July 23, 2015, the court granted plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the 

district court. (ECF No. 6.) Subsequently, on August 9, 2016, the court denied plaintiff’s motion 

for summary judgment, granted the Commissioner’s cross-motion for summary judgment, and 

affirmed the final decision of the Commissioner. (ECF Nos. 25, 26.) Thereafter, on October 7, 

2016, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. (ECF No. 27.) Plaintiff’s notice of appeal is accompanied 

by a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. (ECF No. 28.)

Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(3) generally allows a party who was granted 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma
