CIVIL ACTION: 5:12-CV-218 (MTT)

ORDER
Petitioner TROY ANTHONY HARDEN has filed a motion for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis on appeal. (Doc. 41). In a Recommendation dated August 21, 2013, the
United States Magistrate Judge recommended that a Certificate of Appealability (“COA”)
be denied in this 28 U.S.C. § 2254 action. (Doc. 36). The United States District Court
adopted the Recommendation on September 30, 2013. (Doc. 38). Because Petitioner is
not entitled to a COA, he is not entitled to appeal in forma pauperis. Accordingly,
Petitioner’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this 20th day of December, 2013.
S/ Marc T. Treadwell
MARC T. TREADWELL, JUDGE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
