Plaintiff,

CHARLES SCOTT,
Defendant,

No. 4:12CV559 JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal. The Court finds that the appeal is not taken in good faith. Plaintiff
did not present any evidence in opposition to defendant Scott’s motion for summary
judgment. Nor did he present any evidence showing he suffered from a serious medical
condition. Therefore, the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is
denied. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal [ECF No. 47] is DENIED.
Dated this 11th day of March, 2014.

JOHN A. ROSS
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
