January 21, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER FILED. Appellant was incorrectly notified that fees were due. Appellant is not required to pay fees for this appeal because the district court found appellant to be indigent. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3). The docket has been amended to reflect appellants in forma pauperis status. This courts docket reflects that appellant is proceeding without counsel. Accordingly, appellant is responsible for preparing a pro se brief stating, in appellants own words, why appellant believes the district courts decision was incorrect. The pro se opening brief is due March 2, 2026. The answering brief is due April 1, 2026. The optional pro se reply brief is due within 21 days after service of the answering brief. Appellant is not required to submit excerpts of record. If appellant does not submit excerpts, appellee must submit all documents cited in the pro se opening brief or otherwise required by the rules. See 9th Cir. R. 30-1. If appellant does not file a timely pro se opening brief, the appeal may be dismissed for failure to prosecute. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1. [Entered: 01/21/2026 09:21 AM]
