Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). This court has separately found that this appeal is taken in good faith. Since this court has certified that plaintiff's appeal is taken in good faith and has not otherwise found that plaintiff is not entitled to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will be denied as unnecessary. In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's October 23, 2008, application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied as unnecessary. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a).
