A party, who has been given permission to proceed in forma pauperis or who is financially unable
to obtain an adequate defense in a criminal case, has filed a notice of appeal. Pursuant to the third
paragraph of FRAP 24(a), a party may proceed on appeal in forma pauperis without further
authorization unless the district judge certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith or finds that
the party is otherwise not entitled to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. The district judge shall
state in writing the reasons for such a certification or finding.
Please advise the clerk's office of how you intend to proceed so that we may process this appeal:
