IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 09-cv-02970-ZLW LESTER L. WASHINGTON, Plaintiff, v. COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY, FORT COLLINS, et al, Defendants.

ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL Weinshienk, Senior Judge Plaintiff has submitted a Notice of Appeal. Plaintiff previously was allowed to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 in this court in this action. The court has examined the file and has determined that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal must be denied. Pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the court finds that this appeal is not taken in good faith because plaintiff has not shown the existence of a reasoned, nonfrivolous argument on the law and facts in support of the issues raised on appeal. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied because this appeal is not taken in good faith.
