Mattox v. Castrol, et al.

Filing 27

ORDER REVOKING IFP STATUS, signed by Chief Judge Ralph R. Beistline on 5/17/2013. (cc: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal.) (Marrujo, C)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
JOHN MATTOX,
Case No. 1:10-cv-01641-RRB
Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER REVOKING IFP STATUS

SGT. CASTROL, et al.,
Defendants.

At Docket 26, the Court of Appeals referred this matter to this Court for the limited
purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue on appeal. This
Court, having fully considered the matter finds that reasonable jurists could not disagree with
this Court’s resolution of his constitutional claims or that jurists could conclude the issues
presented are adequate to deserve encouragement to proceed further. Accordingly, the
appeal is frivolous or taken in bad faith.1
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status is hereby
REVOKED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 17th day of May, 2013.
S/RALPH R. BEISTLINE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); see Hooker v. American Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th
Cir. 2002) (revocation of in forma pauperis status is appropriate if the appeal is frivolous).
