March 31, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER FILED. Appellants March 27, 2026 filings include a request to proceed in forma pauperis, but do not include a completed financial affidavit.

Within 35 days, appellant must: (1) file a statement explaining why the appeal is not frivolous and a completed Form 4 financial affidavit, 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 appellant files a statement that the appeal should go forward, appellees may file a response within 10 days after service of appellants statement. Briefing is stayed. All pending motions will be addressed by separate order. 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.
