Date Filed Document Text
October 8, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 7 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 That status continues in this court because it has not been revoked. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). The motion (Docket Entry No. 6) to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is therefore unnecessary. The full $605 in fees for this appeal will still be collected when adequate funds are available in appellants prison trust account. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1), (b)(2). 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. Briefing is stayed until the court decides appellants motion for appointment of counsel. See 9th Cir. R. 27-11(a)(6). The clerk will serve this order and a prisoner authorization form on appellant.
