No. 4:14CV00066 JLH

ANDY SHOCK

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Caesar Clay, an inmate at the Arkansas Department of Correction’s Randall Williams
Correctional Facility, has filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals, Eighth
Circuit, appealing the dismissal of his complaint (docket entry #6), along with a motion for leave to
appeal in forma pauperis (docket entry #5). However, because the Court, in its order and judgment
dismissing the case (docket entries #3 and #4), certified that any appeal would be frivolous and not
in good faith, the motion will be denied.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1.

Plaintiff’s motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (docket entry #5) is DENIED.

2.

Within thirty (30) days of this order’s entry date, plaintiff must either:
(a)

pay to this Court the $505.00 appellate filing and docketing fees; or

(b)

file, with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, a motion
with an attached affidavit that complies with each mandate of Federal Rule
of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(1).

3.

Plaintiff is directed to file any future documents or pleadings related to his appeal

with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
DATED this 18th day of March, 2014.
