CASE NUMBER 99 CR 50007
December 17, 2003
ORDER
Wilfredo Pineda has filed a motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis which has been referred to this court for a ruling. The order appealed from is not identified. The latest order of this court prior to the filing of the motion on November 25, 2003 is the court's November 5, 2003 order denying Pineda's motion to reopen the time to file an appeal. For the reasons set forth in the November 5 order, there is no basis for reopening the time to file an appeal under F.R.A.P. 4. Pineda has previously filed numerous motions with this court and the direct appeal of his conviction was dismissed as frivolous and an appeal from the dismissal of his § 2255 motion was dismissed. The court denies the motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
