1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 SHAUNTAE TAYLOR, 11 Plaintiff, 12 vs. 13 No. CIV S-10-2731 GGH P T. VIRGA, et al., 14 Defendants. 15 ORDER / 16 This case was dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to state a claim upon which relief 17 may be granted by Order, filed on May 26, 2011, and judgment thereon entered. After plaintiff, a 18 state prisoner who proceeded pro se and in forma pauperis in the district court, filed a notice of 19 appeal, the Ninth Circuit referred this matter “for the limited purpose of determining whether in 20 forma pauperis status should continue for this appeal or whether the appeal is frivolous on taken 21 in bad faith.” 22 It is this court’s determination that this appeal was not taken in good faith. As 23 noted in the adopted Findings and Recommendations, filed on April 28, 2011, p. 6, “[t]here is no 24 basis for a claim of an Eighth Amendment violation against defendants for plaintiff’s self- 25 confessed and apparently wholly unwarranted aggression toward his cellmates... and plaintiff 26 cannot raise claims on behalf of any party other than himself,” citing Halet v. Wend Inv. Co., 672 1 1 F.2d 1305, 1308 (9th Cir. 1982). 2 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is to serve this response 3 to the Ninth Circuit’s June 9, 2011, Referral Notice for Appellate Case No. 11-16450, upon the 4 Ninth Circuit. 5 DATED: June 10, 2011 /s/ Gregory G.
