ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER'S APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

PAUL BORMAN, District Judge

Petitioner has filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(1) provides that a party to a district court action who desires to appeal in forma pauperis must file a motion in the district court. An appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the court determines that it is not taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Here, the Court determines that Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis is taken in good faith, and the Court shall therefore grant Petitioner's application.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis [Dkt. # 28] is GRANTED.
