Ruling
The court denied David Delva leave to proceed without prepaying court fees. This is permission to pursue a matter without paying the filing fees in advance.
The order refers to ECF No. 23, page 13, which states that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. The court therefore also denied fee-free status for purposes of an appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the statute governing this type of fee waiver.
Clerk’s Directions
The court directed the Clerk of Court to enter the order on both docket numbers—12-CR-802-4 and 19-CV-3623—and to mail a copy of the order to Delva.
