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

15

pauperis, filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 28, 2018, the

16

Court granted Defendants’ motion for terminating sanctions and dismissed this action, with

17

prejudice, due to Plaintiff’s failure to comply with a court order. (ECF Nos. 238, 239.) On

18

October 12, 2018, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. (ECF No. 240.)

19

On October 23, 2018, 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 for

21

the appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). The Court finds that this appeal is not taken in bad faith and

22

is not frivolous. Accordingly, in forma pauperis status should not be revoked and should

23

continue on appeal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
