- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01206_de68 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 10/31/2019. On 9/11/19, the Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss which asserted that Plaintiff had falsely misrepresented his poverty. Plaintiff now files 51 , a Motion for Leave to Appeal in forma pauperis. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), "An appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith." 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). In his motion and affidavit, however, Plaintiff identifies his issues on appeal only as "statements made in the motion to dismiss my case are not factual." Accordingly, this Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that Plaintiff's appeal is not in good faith. See also Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(4)(B). Plaintiff's Motion for Permission to Appeal in forma pauperis 51 , is DENIED. If Plaintiff seeks to contest this Court's finding, he must renew his Motion for Permission to Appeal in forma pauperis in the Court of Appeals within 30 days after service of this order. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. (SAG, ilcd) (Entered: 10/31/2019)" @default.
