August 30, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: On August 9, 2019, the district court denied appellant Gerald Joness motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and said that he must renew his motion to proceed in forma pauperis in this court within 30 days. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). On August 30, 2019, this court dismissed Joness appeal for failure to pay the required docketing fee.

See 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). Failure to pay the fee or file a motion by September 13, 2019, will result in dismissal of this appeal. See Cir. R. 3(b). Sent Certified Mail.

August 30, 2019 Filing 6 IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED for failure to pay the required docketing fee pursuant to Circuit Rule 3(b). The appellant shall remit to the clerk of the district court the $505 appellate fees. Mandate issued, no record to be returned.

August 30, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 5 Filed district court order dated 08/09/2019: TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 8/9/2019. Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Title 28 U.S.C. Sec 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). The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's motion, his notice of appeal, and the Court's Orders, and the Court does not see an arguable good faith basis for his appeal. Accordingly, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(a)(3) that Plaintiff's petition to appeal in forma pauperis is not in good faith, and the motion [8] is DENIED. 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 thirty (30) days after service of this Order. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this Order to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. [5] [7027122] [19-2537] (DSL) [Entered: 08/30/2019 09:12 AM]
