On March 9, 2016, the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit

18

ransferred this action to the district court for the limited purpose of adjudicating the appellant

19

Naeem Ahmad’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

20

(ECF No. 1.)

21

This court has considered the motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) and the

22

other materials attached to the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s order, including the certification by

23

the bankruptcy judge that the appeal is not taken in good faith for purposes of 28 U.S.C. §

24

1915(a)(3). Having carefully reviewed the record, the court agrees with the bankruptcy judge’s

25

analysis and finds that the appeal is not being taken in good faith. As such, Mr. Ahmad is not

26

entitled to proceed in forma pauperis.

27

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

28

1. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 2) is DENIED.
