Petitioner is a state prisoner who proceeded pro se with a petition for writ of habeas

15 corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. On February 24, 2017, the Court adopted the Magistrate
16 Judge’s findings and recommendation and denied the petition. (ECF No. 26).

On March 27, 2017, Petitioner filed the instant motion to proceed in forma pauperis on

18 appeal. (ECF No. 32). The Court previously permitted Petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis in
19 this action. (ECF No. 5). Therefore, Petitioner does not require further authorization to appeal in
20 forma pauperis. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3).

Accordingly, Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 32) is
