1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 AFSHIN BAHRAMPOUR, 9 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 10 By Notice, (ECF No. 62), entered April 20, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4 Plaintiff, 5 6 7 vs. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; DAVID TYSON, 8 Defendants. Case No.: 2:16-cv-00985-GMN-VCF ORDER 11 Ninth Circuit referred this matter to the District Court for the limited purpose of determining 12 whether in forma pauperis status should continue for this appeal or whether the appeal is 13 frivolous or taken in bad faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); Hooker v. Am. Airlines, 302 F.3d 14 1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 2002) (finding revocation of in forma pauperis status appropriate where 15 the district court finds appeal frivolous). 16 Here, Plaintiff Afshin Bahrampour (“Plaintiff”) appeals the Court’s Order, (ECF No. 17 56), adopting Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach’s Report and Recommendation, dismissing this 18 action with prejudice, and naming Plaintiff a vexatious litigation. (See Notice of Appeal, ECF 19 No. 60). As stated in the Court’s Order, Plaintiff’s Complaint relies on non-legal authority in 20 support of “fanciful claims against government agencies, and implausible theories of liability 21 based on fantastic concepts like telepathy.” (Order 2:25–3:2). Accordingly, Plaintiff’s appeal 22 lacks any legal or factual basis. 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// Page 1 of 2 1 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Court certifies Plaintiff’s appeal as frivolous 2 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
