05-30-2012
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL TED WASIKOWSKI, Defendant.
Hon. John Corbett O'Meara
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR LEAVE
TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
Before the court is Defendant's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, filed April 17, 2012. Defendant is appealing the court's May 11, 2011 order denying his motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). Defendant filed a motion for a certificate of appealability, which the court denied on June 2, 2011. In that order, the court also declined "to permit leave to appeal in forma pauperis, because any such appeal would be frivolous."
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is DENIED.
John Corbett O'Meara
