Re: ECF Nos. 117 & 120

Ricardo Calderon Lopez filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.1 The court denied it

17
18

and asked Mr. Lopez to clarify what he sought: IFP status in this court or in aid of his appeal

19

before the Ninth Circuit.2 Mr. Lopez responded to the court’s order.3 As best the court can tell, he

20

intended the IFP application to support his appeal of the undersigned’s order denying his

21

withdrawal of consent to magistrate-judge jurisdiction.4
The court construes Mr. Lopez’s application as a motion for leave to proceed IFP under

22
23

Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a). Under that rule, “a party to a district-court action who

24

desires to appeal in forma pauperis must file a motion in the district court.” Fed. R. App. P.
