PERRY C. BLAIR, Plaintiff, v. CDCR, et al., Defendants.
ORDER REGARDING IN FORMA PAUPERIS STATUS ON APPEAL
(ECF No. 161)
On April 8, 2021, Defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted and judgment was entered in favor of Defendants. (ECF Nos. 156, 157.)
On May 7, 2021, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. (ECF No. 157.)
On July 12, 2021, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the matter back to this Court for the limited purpose of determining whether in forma pauperis status should continue for the appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). (ECF No. 161.) The Court finds that this appeal is not taken in bad faith and is not frivolous. Accordingly, in forma pauperis status should not be revoked and should continue on appeal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
