Opinion
Case No. 10-15131.
August 10, 2011
ORDER
On January 13, 2011, Plaintiff requested in forma pauperis status for his appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. This Court denied the request; Plaintiff's Complaint lacked even arguable merit and, therefore, his appeal was not taken in good faith. See Willis v. Campbell, 102 Fed. Appx. 481, 481 (6th Cir. 2004) (indicating that an appeal that is frivolous is not taken in good faith).
Plaintiff then requested that the Court of Appeals grant him in forma pauperis status. See Fed.R.App.P. 24(a)(5). The Court of Appeals denied the motion, concluding that the appeal would be frivolous.
Plaintiff now asks this Court to reconsider the ruling of the Court of Appeals, and allow him to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. This Court has no authority to do so.
Plaintiff's motion is DENIED. IT IS ORDERED.
