MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Appeal in Forma Pauperis ("IFP"). (Filing No. 13.) Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal (filing no. 7) and a previous motion to proceed IFP on appeal (filing no. 8) on January 10, 2019, which motion I denied for the reason that the appeal is not from a final order and is, therefore, not in good faith. (Filing No. 9.) To the extent Plaintiff seeks permission from this court to appeal IFP, his motion is denied for the reasons stated in my January 15, 2019 Memorandum and Order.
Upon notification of Plaintiff's appeal, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals directed Plaintiff to either pay the $505.00 appellate filing fee in the district court or file a motion to proceed IFP in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. (Filing No. 11.) According to the docket sheet, notice of Plaintiff's present motion to appeal IFP was sent to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. --------
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Appeal in Forma Pauperis (filing no. 13) is denied.
Dated this 22nd day of January, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge
