ORDER

On November 17, 2014, the Court ordered that Plaintiff file a Supplemental Motion to
Proceed In Forma Pauperis on appeal no later than December 8, 2014. See ECF No. 13. This
Order was filed in response to Plaintiff’s incomplete Amended Motion to Proceed In Forma
Pauperis on Appeal (ECF No. 12). On November 28, 2014, the Court docketed a filing received
from Plaintiff that appears to be titled “Supplemental Amendment to the Action for Notice of
Appeal in forma pauperis pursuant to Title 28, Section 1915, U.S.C.” (ECF No. 21). Construing
this filing as Plaintiff’s attempt to comply with the Court’s November 17, 2014 Order, the Court
finds that Plaintiff has failed to comply with the November 17, 2014 Order and hereby DENIES
Plaintiff’s Amended Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on Appeal (ECF No. 12). In support
of this denial, the Court finds that despite having received explicit instructions and a copy of the
required affidavit, Plaintiff has failed to legibly show his inability to pay or give security for fees
and costs or explain the claims or issues that he intends to present on appeal. See F.R.A.P. 24(a)(2).
Additionally, the Court hereby certifies that any appeal from the final judgment in this case
would not be taken in good faith pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
SO ORDERED.
