September 27, 2023 Filing 17 PLRA FEE NOTICE AND ORDER of USCA as to #11 Notice of Appeal filed by Firas Ayoubi (FDS)
September 27, 2023 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 9/27/2023. Plaintiff on 3 or more occasions while incarcerated brought an action or appeal in the US Courts that was dismissed as frivolous, malicious, or for failure to state a claim. 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). The Court on 9/18/23 denied Plaintiff's request to proceed without prepayment of fees, and denied Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief. Order #4 . On 9/22/23 Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal #11 seeking to appeal those rulings and filed a Motion #12 for leave to appeal without prepayment of fees. Section 1915 states, "[a]n appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith." 28 U.S.C. SEc 1915(a)(3). "Good faith" within the meaning of Sec 1915(a)(3) is not about the party's sincerity in requesting appellate review. Rather, an appeal taken in "good faith" is an appeal that, objectively considered, raises nonfrivolous colorable issues. See Cruz v. Hauck, 404 U.S. 59, 62 (1971); Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962); Lee v. Clinton, 209 F.3d 1025, 1026-27 (7th Cir. 2000). A party who identifies issues that are debatable among jurists of reason, or that could be resolved in a different manner, or that are sufficient to deserve encouragement to proceed further, demonstrates a good faith basis for an appeal. Pate v. Stevens, 163 F.3d 437, 439 (7th Cir. 1998). Plaintiff's grounds for appeal include whether the Court erred in denying Plaintiff leave to proceed IFP under the imminent danger exception, and whether the Court erred in denying Plaintiff's requests for injunctive relief. Motion #12 . The Court finds that jurists of reason could not disagree on this Court's rulings. The Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to raise a nonfrivolous issue for appeal. Plaintiff's #12 Motion for Leave to Appeal in Forma Pauperis is DENIED. If Plaintiff intends to renew his request before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, he must do so within 30 days of service of this Order, in compliance with Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(5). (KE)
