The Court is in receipt of a referral from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals relating to

14

Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status on appeal. Plaintiff in this action alleged only conclusory legal

15

opinions. Although the Court gave Plaintiff an opportunity to amend and instructed her as to the

16

deficiencies in her original complaint, see Docket No. 7, Plaintiff’s amended complaint again did

17

not allege any specific facts. Having failed to allege sufficient facts to satisfy Rule 8 of the

18

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in this Court, the Court certifies that Plaintiff’s appeal is

19

frivolous. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status on appeal should be revoked pursuant

20

to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
