Case No. 89-cr-50025-4
07-20-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. KEVIN TYRONE WILSON, Defendant.
Hon. Bernard A. Friedman
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION
TO APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS
Before the Court is defendant's unopposed pro se motion [docket entry 802] to appeal, in forma pauperis, this Court's April 30, 2012 order [docket entry 794] denying defendant's motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) [docket entry 790]. As defendant has already been "permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district-court action" and the Court has no reason to certify that the instant appeal "is not taken in good faith," defendant's motion is denied as academic. FED. R. APP. P. 24(a)(3)(A).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that defendant's motion to appeal in forma pauperis is denied as academic.
Bernard A. Friedman
Senior United States District Judge
