December 2, 2025 Filing 3 Filed District Court order GRANTING Jane Giampaolo's leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. Date IFP granted: 12/02/2025. There is also the question, however, of whether the appeal is taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3). Section 1915(a)(3) states that [a]n appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith. Although the court is satisfied that Ms. Giampaolo must have counsel to represent her and her ward in this action, it nevertheless concludes her appeal is not in bad faith. Accordingly, her motion to proceed on appeal without prepayment of the filing fee (Dkt. No. 8) is GRANTED. [3] [7490186] [25-3149] (AP) [Entered: 12/02/2025 02:23 PM]
