UNITED STATES v. RODRIGUEZ (2020)

Felipe Carmona Rodriguez, federal prisoner # 34144-380, moves this court to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal from the denial of motions that he filed in his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceedings for IFP authorization in the district court and, relatedly, for the provision of free copies of transcripts and other documents from the underlying criminal proceedings. By moving to proceed IFP, Rodriguez challenges the district court's certification that his appeal is not taken in good faith. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997). As we do not have jurisdiction to review the interlocutory order denying Rodriguez's motions to proceed IFP in the district court and for the provision of free copies of trial court documents, see Thompson v. Drewry, 138 F.3d 984, 985-86 (5th Cir. 1998); Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981 F.2d 807, 809-10 (5th Cir. 1993), his appeal is DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION. His motion to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED.
