- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01244_de135 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 12/18/2018. Plaintiff filed two motions for leave to appeal in forma pauperis 115 118 . 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. OBrien, 216 F.3d 626, 632 (7th Cir. 2000). Plaintiff identifies the same issues he identified in his underlying lawsuit and appears to allege facts he did not argue at the summary judgment stage. Plaintiff does not provide any legal argument in support of his contention that the Court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants. Thus, the Court does not see an arguable good faith basis for appeal. 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 the motions 115 118 are DENIED.
