SEYED SAEID ZAMANIEH SHAHRI, Plaintiff, v. U.S. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, OAKLAND LOCAL OFFICE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER DENYING IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS
RE: DKT. NO. 48
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On February 22, 2023, Plaintiff Seyed Saeid Zamanieh Shahri filed a notice of appeal of this Court's February 13, 2023, order dismissing the complaint without leave to amend. See Dkt. No. 46. On February 27, 2023, the Ninth Circuit referred the matter for the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis (“IFP”) status should continue for the appeal. See Dkt. No. 48. The Court finds the issues presented by the appeal are frivolous and that the appeal is not taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(a)(3), (e)(2)(B)(i); Hooker v. American Airlines, 302 F.3d 1091, 1092 (9th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, the Court DENIES leave to proceed in IFP status on appeal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
