DISTRICT ATTORNEY,

On June 3, 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred this matter to this Court for

20

the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue or whether

21

in forma pauperis status should be revoked because the appeal is made in bad faith. See 28

22

U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Hooker v. American Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091 (9th Cir. 2002). Having

23

considered the record, and for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge’s findings and

24

recommendations and adopted by this Court (ECF Nos. 14 & 18), the Court concludes that

25

Plaintiff’s appeal is made in bad faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is hereby revoked.
