CIVIL NO. 7:14-CV-168-HL

28 U.S.C. § 2254

ORDER
Pro se Petitioner Allen Lee Grace filed a Notice of Appeal and a Motion for Leave to
Proceed In Forma Pauperis on appeal. On January 7, 2015, this Court ordered Petitioner’s case
dismissed and further ordered that a Certificate of Appealability (“COA”) be denied in his 28
U.S.C. § 2254 action. Order, ECF No. 9. Judgment was entered the same day. Judgment, ECF
No. 10. 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 (ECF No. 14)
is hereby DENIED.
SO ORDERED, this 9th day of February, 2015.
