McGregor v. United States of America, No. 1:2018cv02141 - Document 10 (S.D.N.Y. 2018)

Court Description: OPINION & ORDER. The Court denies McGregor's motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. He may, however, move for such permission and for a COA from the Court of Appeals. See Coppedge, 369 U.S. at 445 ("If the District Court finds th e application is not in good faith, and therefore denies leave to appeal in forma pauperis, the defendant may seek identical relief from the Court of Appeals."); Lozada v. United States, 107 F.3d 1011, 1017 (2d Cir. 1997) ("If the district judge denies a COA, a request may then be made to a court of appeals."), abrogated on other grounds by United States v. Perez, 129 F.3d 255, 260 (2d Cir. 1997). (Signed by Judge Paul A. Crotty on 8/7/18) Copy mailed by Chambers. (yv)
