ORDER
Before the Court is Petitioner’s motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. (Doc.
15). Pursuant to Rule 24(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Petitioner’s appeal
is not taken in good faith and Petitioner will be required to pay the $455.00 appellate filing
and docketing fees. See also McIntosh v. United State Parole Comm., 115 F.3d 809, 812
(10th Cir. 1997) (Petitioner must demonstrate “the existence of a reasoned, nonfrivolous
argument on the law and facts in support of the issues raised on appeal”).
Because the Court has certified that this appeal is not taken in good faith, any request
to proceed in forma pauperis should be sent directly to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). Petitioner’s motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis (Doc.
15) is DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on December 19, 2012.
