- ilcd;;4:16-cv-04010_de279 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER: 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. 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, the Court sees no good faith grounds for appeal within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). The Court certifies that Plaintiff's appeal is not in good faith within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Accordingly, Plaintiff's petition to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is denied. (d/e 248 .) 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). On a separate matter, Plaintiff's motion for counsel is denied because this case is on appeal. (d/e 249 .) If Plaintiff seeks counsel for his appeal, Plaintiff should file his motion with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The scanner at Rushville sends documents only to the Central District of Illinois, not the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Entered by Judge Harold A. Baker on 1/7/2019. (GL, ilcd) (Entered: 01/07/2019)" @default.
