Opinion
Cause No. 3:04-CV-404RM, Arising from 3:01-CR-50(02)RM.
August 10, 2007
OPINION and ORDER
Having certified Mr. Magen's appeal of his § 2255 petition on the issue of whether his trial counsel was ineffective in violation of the Sixth Amendment, and having reviewed his financial affidavit submitted in support of his amended motion to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal, the court now GRANTS said motion [Doc. No. 13]. See Walker v. O'Brien, 216 F.3d 626, 631-632 (7th Cir. 2000) (holding the standard for issuance of a certificate of appealability is more demanding than the standard for determining whether an appeal is in good faith for proceeding in forma pauperis). The court also DENIES AS MOOT his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc. No. 186 in Cause No. 3:01-CR-50].
SO ORDERED.
