Plaintiff Bilal Ahdom (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

16

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on October 26, 2009. On July 1, 2014, the Court denied

17

Plaintiff’s motions for temporary restraining order. Plaintiff filed a notice of interlocutory appeal

18

on July 15, 2014.

19

On July 17, 2014, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the matter back to this

20

Court for the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue

21

for the appeal, or whether the appeal is frivolous or taken in bad faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).

22

The Court finds that this appeal is not taken in bad faith and is not frivolous.

23

Accordingly, in forma pauperis status should not be revoked and should continue on appeal.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
