Plaintiff,
vs.
ORDER
COUNTY OF BUTTE, et al.,
Defendants.

/
17
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brought this civil rights complaint. Final
18
judgment was entered on December 2, 2011, and plaintiff has filed a timely notice of appeal.
19
Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 20) for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on
20
appeal. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(3), where prior approval to
21
proceed in forma pauperis was granted in the district court, such approval generally continues on
22
appeal. Because plaintiff was previously granted in forma pauperis status in this action, the
23
current motion will be denied as unnecessary.
24
Also pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 17) for appointment of
25
counsel on appeal. That motion will be denied without prejudice to renewing the motion in the
26
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

appeal is denied as unnecessary; and
4

Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 20) for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on
2.
Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 17) for appointment of counsel is denied without
prejudice.
