Anthony v. Palmer

Filing 38

OPINION AND ORDER Denying as Moot the Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis on Appeal 35 . Signed by District Judge Denise Page Hood. (LSau)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
LORENZO ANTHONY,
Petitioner,
v.

Civil Action No. 2:10-CV-13312
HONORABLE DENISE PAGE HOOD
CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

CATHERINE BAUMAN,
Respondent,
_______________________________/
OPINION AND ORDER DENYING AS MOOT THE MOTION TO PROCEED
IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
On December 31, 2015, this Court denied the petition for writ of habeas
corpus brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254, denied petitioner a certificate of
appealability, but granted petitioner leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Petitioner

has now filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
This Court has already granted petitioner leave to appeal in forma
pauperis; it is unnecessary for petitioner to again obtain permission to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Petitioner’s current motion to

1

proceed in forma pauperis on appeal [Dkt. # 35] will therefore be denied as
moot. See McMillan v. McKune, 16 Fed.Appx. 896, 897 (10th Cir. 2001).
