- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01042_de22 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 1/31/2017: Plaintiff has filed a petition for leave to appeal in forma pauperis along with a brief explaining his grounds for appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 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." An appeal taken in "good faith" is not about the movant's sincerity or motivation. The test is an objective one: A good faith appeal is an appeal that "a reasonable person could suppose... has some merit" from a legal perspective. Walker v. O'Brien, 216 F.3d 626, 632 (7th Cir. 2000). Upon review of the record and Plaintiff's brief, the Court sees no good faith grounds for appeal within the meaning of § 1915(a)(3). The court therefore certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that Plaintiff's petition to appeal in forma pauperis is not in good faith within the meaning of that section. The petition is denied (d/e 11 ). 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 30 days after service of this order. See Fed.R.App.P. 24(a). The clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. (JRK, ilcd) (Entered: 01/31/2017)" @default.
