Date Filed Document Text
March 23, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER FILED. John B. OWENS, Eric D. MILLER, Patrick J. BUMATAY This court has reviewed the December 1, 2025 notice of appeal and the district court record pursuant to the pre-filing review order entered in appeal No. 12-80207. The appeal lacks sufficient merit to proceed. See In re Thomas, 508 F.3d 1225, 1227 (9th Cir. 2007). Appeal No. 25-7772 is therefore dismissed. This order, served on the district court for the Southern District of California, constitutes the mandate of this court. All pending motions are denied as moot. No further filings will be entertained. [Entered: 03/23/2026 01:32 PM]

December 16, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER FILED. The district court has certified that this appeal is frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a). Within 35 days, appellant must: (1) file a statement explaining why the appeal is not frivolous and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, OR (2) file a motion to voluntarily dismiss the appeal, see Fed. R. App. P. 42(b). If appellant files a statement explaining why the appeal is not frivolous, or any other response other than a motion to dismiss, the court will determine whether the appeal is frivolous. If it is frivolous, the appeal will be dismissed. If it is not frivolous, the appeal will proceed. If the court dismisses the appeal as frivolous, this appeal may be counted as a strike under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). Briefing is stayed. If appellant does not respond to this order, the court may dismiss this appeal without further notice. The clerk will serve on appellant: (1) a form motion to voluntarily dismiss the appeal, (2) a form statement that the appeal should go forward, and (3) a Form 4 financial affidavit.
