On May 16, 2018, Plaintiff Vinton Frost filed a notice of appeal of this Court’s May 9,

14

2018 judgment. Dkt. No. 21. On May 21, 2018, Mr. Frost filed an application to proceed on

15

appeal in forma pauperis (“IFP”). Dkt. No. 24. The application says that the basis of the appeal is

16

that “this case was not randomly assigned,” in violation of the Court’s General Orders. Id. The

17

Court DENIES IFP status as the appeal is frivolous, and thus not taken in good faith. See 28

18

U.S.C. §§ 1915(a)(3), (e)(2)(B)(i).
