THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff White’s Motion [Dkt. #50] for Leave to

15 Proceed in forma pauperis on his appeal of this Court’s Order [Dkt. #46] dismissing his claims.

A court should “deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis at the outset if it appears from

17 the face of the proposed complaint that the action is frivolous or without merit.” Tripati v. First
