ORDER
Pending before the Court is a motion filed by pro se Petitioner Andrew Blase Torres
seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 22). On February 4, 2026,
the Court adopted the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge and
dismissed Petitioner’s federal habeas corpus petition. ECF No. 19 at 1. In that same Order,
the Court adopted the recommendation to deny a certificate of appealability (“COA”). See
id. 	Because this Court has found that Petitioner is not entitled to a COA, his motion to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal (ECF No. 22) is DENIED as moot.
SO ORDERED, this 24th day of February, 2026.
