No. 4:20 CV 1924 MTS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s second motion to proceed in forma pauperis
on appeal. Doc. [12]. On February 10, 2021, the Court denied Plaintiff’s first motion to proceed in
forma pauperis on appeal. See Doc. [7]. Likewise, the Court will deny Plaintiff’s second motion
to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. When this Court dismissed Plaintiff’s case, it 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).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff’s second motion to proceed in forma pauperis
on appeal, Doc. [12] is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall not file any additional motions in this
closed action.
Dated this 8th day of April, 2021.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
