OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER This matter is before the Court on plaintiffs motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. [ECF No. 11]. When the Court dismissed this action, it certified in writing that an appeal would not be taken in good faith, see ECF No. 8; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), and it is not apparent that plaintiff now seeks appellate review of any issue that is not frivolous. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962). As a result, the Court will deny the motion. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal [ECF No. 11] is DENIED. Dated this 18™ day of April, 2025.
