APPEAL NO. 15-16483
ORDER REGARDING IN FORMA
PAUPERIS STATUS ON APPEAL

14
15

Plaintiff Alex Tabatabaee (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

16

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on June 17, 2013. On July 2, 2015, the Court dismissed the

17

action for failure to state a cognizable claim. Plaintiff appealed.

18

On July 28, 2015, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the matter back to this

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
