Plaintiff,
v.
AMY FITE,
Defendant.

No. 4:17-cv-1545-SPM

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on
appeal. When plaintiff’s case was dismissed, the Court certified in writing that an appeal would
not be taken in good faith, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), and it is not apparent that plaintiff now
seeks appellate review of any issue that is not frivolous. See Coppedge v. United States, 369
U.S. 438, 445 (1962). The Court will therefore deny the motion.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on
appeal (Docket No. 16) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall either pay the $505.00 appellate filing
fee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, or file a motion there for leave
to proceed in forma pauperis.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall file any future documents or pleadings
in connection with his appeal directly with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth
Circuit.
Dated this 10th day of August, 2017.
