The opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MISSOURI
EASTERN DIVISION
JOSEPH MICHAEL DEVON ENGEL, )
Plaintiff,
Vv. No. 4:20-cv-1891-RLW
ST. ANTHONY’S HOSPITAL, et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis on appeal. (ECF No. 6). The motion will be denied. Plaintiff proceeded pro se and in
forma pauperis during the proceedings in this United States District Court. However, in
dismissing this action, the Court certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith, see 28
U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), and it is not apparent that plaintiff now seeks appellate review of any non-
frivolous issue. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 445 (1962). Further, plaintiff has
repeatedly filed meritless lawsuits in this Court and is now subject to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), and
his averments do not establish he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs motion to proceed in forma pauperis on
appeal (ECF No. 6) is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall submit filings in connection with his
appeal directly with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
