ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO PROCEED ON APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND DENYING FREE TRANSCRIPT
Plaintiff submitted a Notice of Appeal on August 20, 2009. On August 25, 2009, the Court entered a Memorandum allowing Plaintiff to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
However, the Court finds that this appeal does not present a substantial question, i.e., a significant issue that is unique, unusual or reasonably debatable. Therefore, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 753(f), a free transcript will not be provided to Plaintiff. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that Plaintiff will not be provided with a free transcript because the Court finds that this appeal does not present a substantial question. Plaintiff may pay the estimated transcript fee in advance or make his own arrangements with the court reporter to pay for the cost of any transcript.
