Defendants

Pro se plaintiffs Freddie Tucker and Ida Hanson sued defendants—for the fifth time—to

11

challenge the sale of Tucker’s home at a 2012 foreclosure sale. On January 10, 2017, I granted

12

defendants’ dismissal motion and declared plaintiffs vexatious litigants as to any future claim arising

13

from the foreclosure sale against defendants and those in privity with them. After I denied plaintiffs’

14

motion to reconsider my dismissal order, they appealed the order to the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth

15

Circuit has referred the case to me for the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis

16

status should continue on appeal or whether the appeal is frivolous or taken in bad faith. For the

17

reasons set forth in my dismissal order and my order denying plaintiffs’ motion to reconsider, I

18

HEREBY CERTIFY that the appeal is frivolous and taken in bad faith and that in forma pauperis

19

status should not continue on appeal.
