Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI EASTERN DIVISION

AARON ROBINSON, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) No. 4:20-CV-1662 JMB ) MATTHEW WALTZ, et al., ) ) Defendants. )

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. ECF No. 26. When the Court dismissed this action, it certified in writing that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. See ECF Nos. 12-13; 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). 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. 26] is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall file any future documents or pleadings in connection with his appeal directly with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Dated this 20th day of December, 2021.
