November 18, 2015 Filing 7 Filed order (WILLIAM A. FLETCHER and JOHN B. OWENS) The district court has certified that this appeal is not taken in good faith and has revoked appellants in forma pauperis status. We deny appellants motion to proceed in forma pauperis because we also find the appeal is frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a). If appellant wishes to pursue this appeal despite the courts finding that it is frivolous then, within 21 days after the date of this order, appellant shall pay $505.00 to the district court as the docketing and filing fees for this appeal and file proof of payment with this court. Otherwise, the appeal will be dismissed by the Clerk for failure to prosecute, regardless of further filings. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1. No motions for reconsideration, clarification, or modification of the denial of appellants in forma pauperis status shall be entertained. Because the court has found that this appeal is frivolous, the district court order may be summarily affirmed even if appellant pays the fees. If appellant pays the fees and files proof of such payment in this court, appellant therefore shall simultaneously show cause why the order challenged in this appeal should not be summarily affirmed. See 9th Cir. R. 3-6. If appellant elects to show cause, a response may be filed within 10 days after service of appellants filing. If appellant pays the fees but fails to file a response to this order, the court will determine whether to summarily affirm the order challenged in this appeal based on the opening brief received on September 17, 2015. If the appeal is dismissed for failure to comply with this order, the court will not entertain any motion to reinstate the appeal that is not accompanied by proof of payment of the docketing and filing fees. Briefing is suspended pending further order of this court. [9760153] (OC) [Entered: 11/18/2015 10:31 AM]
