ORDER

13

Plaintiffs sued Defendants in this Court under several theories based on the loss of their

14

mail. The Court adopted the Magistrate Judge’s Report & Recommendation, dismissing with

15

prejudice. The Court granted in forma pauperis status upon screening, and the Court of Appeals

16

has remanded for the limited purpose of determining whether that status should continue on

17

appeal. The Court finds that in forma pauperis status should not continue on appeal, as the

18

appeal is frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3); see also Hooker v. Am. Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091,

19

1092 (9th Cir. 2002).
