United States District Court
For the Northern District of California
No. C 13-1469 RS (PR)

This closed federal civil rights action is on appeal. The Court of Appeals has referred
12
the matter to this Court for a determination whether plaintiff’s in forma pauperis (“IFP”)
13
status should continue for this appeal. This Court determines that it should not. There are no
14
valid grounds on which an appeal can be based. Consequently, the Court certifies that any
15
appeal taken from the order of dismissal and judgment of this action will not be taken in good
16
faith and is therefore frivolous. Fed. R. App. P. (“FRAP”) 24(a)(3)(A); Ellis v. United States,
17
356 U.S. 674, 674– 75 (1958); Hooker v. American Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th Cir.
18
2002). Accordingly, plaintiff’s IFP status is hereby REVOKED. The Clerk shall forthwith
19
notify plaintiff and the Court of Appeals of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(4). Plaintiff may file
20
a motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal in the Court of Appeals within thirty days after
21
service of notice of this order. See FRAP 24(a)(5). Any such motion “must include a copy
22
of the affidavit filed in the district court and the district court’s statement of reasons for its
23
action.” Id.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
