ORDER
15
16
At the commencement of this Title VII action in August 2010, we denied plaintiff's
17
motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, stating that her affidavit did not support in
18
forma pauperis status (doc. 7). We recently granted summary judgment in favor of
19
defendant (doc. 81) and denied plaintiff's motion for reconsideration (doc. 83). On January
20
20, 2012, Plaintiff filed her notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit (doc. 87). The court now
21
has before it plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (doc. 88).
22
Rule 24(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure requires a party seeking to
23
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal to file a motion in district court, attaching an affidavit
24
that: "(A) shows in the detail prescribed by Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms the party's
25
inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs; (B) claims an entitlement to redress; and
26
(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal." Plaintiff has not complied
27
with Rule 24(a)(1)(C), because she failed to state the issues she intends to raise on appeal.
28
In addition, a review of plaintiff's affidavit does not support in forma pauperis status.
1
Indeed, compared to the affidavit plaintiff submitted in 2010, plaintiff has reduced her
2
expenses.
