ORDER

On October 19, 2012, this Court entered an order denying the habeas petition as successive and denying a certificate of appealability. (ECF No. 3). Judgment was entered the same date. (ECF No. 4). Pending before this Court are petitioner's motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and petitioner's motion for a certificate of appealability. (ECF Nos. 5 & 6).
Based on the information in petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, the application is granted. Petitioner will not be required to prepay any portion of the $455.00 filing fee for his appeal.
Petitioner's motion for a certificate of appealability is denied. The Court previously denied petitioner a certificate of appealability by order filed October 19, 2012. (ECF No. 3)
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 5) is GRANTED. Petitioner shall not be required to make any prepayment of the filing fee for his appeal.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner's motion for a certificate of appealability (ECF No. 6) is DENIED.
