order Order on Motion for Leave to Appeal In Forma Pauperis Tue 07/16 10:30 AM
TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on 7/16/2024. Plaintiff has filed a motion asking for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Title 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(a)(3) provides that "an appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith." Id. An appeal taken in "good faith" is not about the movant's sincerity or motivation. A good faith appeal is an appeal that "a reasonable person could suppose... has some merit." Walker v. O'Brien, 216 F.3d 626, 632 (7th Cir. 2000). The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's motion, his notice of appeal, and the Court's Order, and the Court does not see an arguable good faith basis for his appeal. Accordingly, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(a)(3) that Plaintiff's petition to appeal in forma pauperis is not in good faith, and his motion69 is DENIED. If Plaintiff wishes to contest this Court's finding, he must renew his petition to proceed in forma pauperis with the Court of Appeals within thirty (30) days after service of this Order. Fed. R. App. Pro. 24(a). The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this Order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. (KE)
