PASQUAL J. SANDERS,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

l 3-cv-649-wmc
App. No. 14-1289

KITTY RHODES, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Pasqual L. Sanders filed this lawsuit alleging that he was wrongfully denied
"medical assistance" benefits from the state Medicare/Medicaid program. On January 24,
2014, this court denied Sanders leave to proceed for purposes of the federal in forma pauperis
statute, 28 U.S.C. § l 915(a), and dismissed his complaint for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction. Sanders has now filed a notice of appeal. (Dkt. # 30). To date, however, he
has not paid the appellate docketing fee ($505.00). For his appeal to proceed, Sanders must
pay the fee within twenty days or submit a properly supported motion for leave to proceed in

forma pauperis in compliance with 28 U.S.C. § l 915(a)(2).
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that, within twenty (20) days, plaintiff Pasqual J. Sanders shall
either ( l) pay the $505 .00 appellate docketing fee; or (2) submit a motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, together with a certified copy of his resident account statement, in
compliance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Failure to comply as directed may result in the
dismissal of his appeal.
