YUSEF IBRAHIM, Plaintiff, v. DOCTOR FLORA DeFILIPPO, et al. Defendants.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
CASTNER, District Judge.
Plaintiff, Yusef Ibrahim (“Plaintiff' or “Ibrahim”), is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil action, Previously, this Court granted summary judgment to Defendant DeFlippo and marked this case as closed, (See ECF 115 & 116). On January 18, 2023, Petitioner filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (See ECF 118). Considering this filing, the Clerk will be ordered to reopen this case so that this application can be analyzed.
Plaintiff s application to proceed in forma pauperis will be denied as unnecessary. Indeed, this Court already granted Plaintiff in forma pauperis status. (See ECF 2). Furthermore, in the event Plaintiff seeks to appeal, his in forma pauperis status carries over from the District Court to the Court of Appeals. See Brandt v. Burns, 441 Fed.Appx. 924, 927 (3d Cir, 2011) (footnoted omitted) (citing Fed. R. App, P. 24(a)(3)).
Accordingly, IT IS on this 20th day of January, 2023, ORDERED that the Clerk shall reopen this case so that Plaintiffs application to proceed in forma pauperis can be analyzed; and it is further
ORDERED that Plaintiff s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF 118) is denied as unnecessary as Plaintiff already has in forma pauperis status; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve this Memorandum and Order on Plaintiff by regular U.S. mail; and it is further
ORDERED that the Clerk shall reclose this case.
