IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Civil Action No. 10-cv-01118-REB-KMT
THERESA L. DOWLING,
Plaintiff,
v.
STURGEON ELECTRIC,
WILLIAM LONG, and
WILLIAM FREDRICKS,
Defendants.

ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
Blackburn, 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, non-frivolous 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.
DATED at Denver, Colorado this 14th day of December, 2011.

BY THE COURT:

s/ Robert E. Blackburn
JUDGE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT
COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
