MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to
Appeal in Forma Pauperis. Filing No. 13. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal,
Filing No. 12, on December 23, 2025. Plaintiff appeals from the Court’s
Memorandum and Order and Judgment dated November 26, 2025, Filing
Nos. 10 & 11, in which the Court dismissed this matter without prejudice.
As set forth in Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(3):
(a) Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis . . .
(3) Prior Approval. A party who was permitted to proceed
in forma pauperis in the district-court action, or who was
determined to be financially unable to obtain an adequate
defense in a criminal case, may proceed on appeal in forma
pauperis without further authorization, unless:
(A) the district court--before or after the notice of
appeal is filed--certifies that the appeal is not taken
in good faith or finds that the party is not otherwise
entitled to proceed in forma pauperis and states in
writing its reasons for the certification or finding . . . .
The Court finds that because Plaintiff proceeded IFP in the district
court, he may now proceed on appeal in forma pauperis without further
