October 27, 2026 Request to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal filed by Appellant Ernesto Ruiz-Romero was denied in the district court by order dated 09/08/2025. Fee due 11/10/2026 . [26-2010] (GB) [Entered: 10/27/2026 04:32 PM]
October 27, 2026 Opinion or Order ORDER entered. The district court denied appellant's request to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") on September 8, 2025 in Docket No. 3:25-cv-01438-JAGo (D.P.R.). Accordingly, appellant must either pay the $605 filing fee to the clerk of the district court or file in this court a motion to proceed in forma pauperis and a fully completed Form 4 financial affidavit. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). A copy of Form 4 is provided to the appellant with this order. If payment has been made, the appellant must submit a copy of the receipt, referencing the above docket number, to this court. The failure to take either action by November 27, 2026 and provide this court with proof thereof, will lead to dismissal of the appeal for lack of diligent prosecution.

October 27, 2026 Opinion or Order ORDER entered. This court has docketed Appellant Ernesto Ruiz-Romero's notice of appeal filed on August 26, 2026, in No. 3:25-cv-01438-JAG (D.P.R.) as Appeal No. 26-2010. Included in the notice of appeal was a Rule 60(b) motion (D.E. No. 16). Pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(i), the notice of appeal does not become effective until the district court disposes of the post-judgment motion. Therefore, Appellant is directed to file a status report by November 27, 2026 and at thirtyday intervals, thereafter, informing this court of any action taken by the district court on the postjudgment motion. Further, Appellant is directed to inform this court whether or not he intends to file a notice of appeal or amended notice of appeal from the district court's post-judgment order. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(ii). Failure to comply with this order may lead to dismissal of this appeal for lack of diligent prosecution. 1st Cir. R. 3.0(b). Once the district court rules on the pending motion, it is directed to forward its decision to this court forthwith. [26-2010] (GB) [Entered: 10/27/2026 04:53 PM]
