In Re William J. Burgess, Appellant, 37 F.3d 1484 (1st Cir. 1994)

Annotate this Case

U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit - 37 F.3d 1484 (1st Cir. 1994) Oct. 7, 1994

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire [Hon. Martin F. Loughlin, Senior U.S. District Judge]

William J. Burgess on brief pro se.

D.N.H.

AFFIRMED.

Before Selya, Cyr and Boudin, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the request to proceed in forma pauperis, see Temple v. Ellerthorpe, 586 F. Supp. 848 (D.R.I. 1984) (discussing the discretionary nature of this determination), nor did it fail to give an adequate explanation, assuming it were obliged to do so, for its ruling.

Affirmed.
