Plaintiff is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil
rights action brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1983. On May 18, 2015, Plaintiff filed a
notice of appeal (ECF No. 17) and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal
(ECF No. 20).
Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis appears to be directed to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and, accordingly, was transmitted to
that Court. (ECF No. 21.) Thus, any such motion in this Court appears moot. The
dismissal of Plaintiff’s appeal (ECF No. 22) would also render Plaintiff’s motion moot.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No.
20) is HEREBY DENIED as moot.

24
25 IT IS SO ORDERED.
