Filing 10
ORDER FILED. Appellant was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court. That status continues in this court because it has not been revoked and the district court found appellant may appeal in forma pauperis. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a).

Appellant has not responded to the courts October 21, 2025 order directing appellant to file a completed prisoner authorization form. Within 21 days, appellant must complete the enclosed authorization form and file it with this court. If appellant does not do so, the court will dismiss the appeal. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1.
