Defendants.

(ECF No. 88)

12
Plaintiff Sam Consiglio, Jr. is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in

13
14

this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On November 26, 2019, the Court granted

15

without leave to amend Defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed this

16

action with prejudice. (ECF No. 83.) Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on December 11, 2019.

17

(ECF No. 85.)
On December 18, 2019, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred this matter back to

18
19

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

20

continue for the appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). (ECF No. 88.) The Court finds that the appeal

21

is not frivolous or taken in bad faith. Therefore, Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status should not be

22

revoked and should continue for the appeal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
