Opinion
Civil Action No. 11-cv-01235-CMA
08-09-2011
CALVIN KARL CHEEKS, Applicant, v. RICHARD SMELSER, and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF COLORADO, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
Arguello, Judge
Applicant has submitted a Notice of Appeal. Applicant previously was allowed to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 in this court in this action. The court has examined the file and has determined that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal must be denied. Pursuant to Rule 24(a)(3) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the court finds that this appeal is not taken in good faith because applicant has not shown the existence of a reasoned, nonfrivolous argument on the law and facts in support of the issues raised on appeal. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied because this appeal is not taken in good faith.
DATED at Denver, Colorado this 9th day of August, 2011.
BY THE COURT:
