Movant is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se with this motion to vacate, set aside, or correct his federal sentence pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255.

(C) states the issues that the party intends to present on appeal.
Fed.R.App.P. 24(a)(2). Movant has attached the appropriate affidavit which demonstrates his inability to pay or to give security for fees and costs. In his October 20, 2010 notice of appeal, movant claimed entitlement to redress and described the issues he intended to present on appeal. Movant has complied with the requirements of Fed.R.App.P. 24(a). Accordingly, his request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal will be granted.
