1 2 3 4 5 6 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 8 9 11 For the Northern District of California United States District Court 10 TATYANA EVGENIEVNA DREVALEVA, Plaintiff, 12 13 14 15 No. C 18-03748 WHA v. ORDER RE IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS ON APPEAL U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, et al., Defendants. / 16 17 Our court of appeals has referred this matter to the undersigned judge for the limited 18 purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for pro se plaintiff 19 Tatyana Drevaleva (Dkt. No. 179). There is no evidence that plaintiff’s financial position has 20 changed significantly since she was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis in the instant 21 action. Moreover, while plaintiff’s case is weak, the Court cannot say that plaintiff’s appeal is 22 so frivolous or insincere as to deny continued in forma pauperis status. Accordingly, this order 23 finds that she may proceed in forma pauperis on her pending appeal. The Clerk shall please 24 notify the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of this order. 25 26 IT IS SO ORDERED. 27 28 Dated: August 14, 2019. WILLIAM ALSUP UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
