ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL

Currently before the Court is petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") on appeal. See General Order 02-19 (automatically referring IFP applications to magistrate judges). The Court GRANTS petitioner's application. Dkt. 29. Although petitioner paid the $5.00 filing fee to pursue this action in the district court, his application to proceed IFP on appeal establishes that he is indigent and financially eligible for IFP status. See id. He also has met the necessary requirements of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(1), and there is no evidence that the instant appeal is not taken in good faith, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
