UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION M.C. WHITLEY, Petitioner, v. Case No. 08-14172 Honorable Denise Page Hood HUGH WOLFENBARGER, Respondent. / ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS On March 16, 2011, the Court entered an order denying Petitioner’s habeas claims. The Court also declined to issue a certificate of appealability, concluding that reasonable jurists would not find the Court’s assessment of the constitutional claims debatable or wrong. This matter is now before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on Appeal [Docket No. 23, filed on March 23, 2011]. After reviewing Plaintiff’s claims, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s Application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. An appeal of the Court’s March 16, 2011 Order would not be frivolous and may be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962), McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 610-11 (6th Cir. 1997). IT IS SO ORDERED. s/Denise Page Hood Denise Page Hood United States District Judge Dated: June 10, 2011 I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon M.C.
