Whether a prisoner's in forma pauperis (IFP) status can be denied on appeal when procedural challenges prevent full review of the underlying civil rights action

No question identified. : Introduction and Grounds for Relief I intend to file a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Cirenit [Appeal Court] for restoration of my informa pauperis stats on appeal [IFPA] that was rejected in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana [District Court] as not taken in good faith on January 31, 2025, subsequent to a final Judgment. entered there on May 29, 2024, in a civil action Complaint submitted there under 42 ULS.C., Section 1983. The Appeal Court declined my Rule 24, Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure [Fed. R. App. FP] Motion for IFPA on August 20, 2025. A motion for increase of time to file for rehearing there was rejected on September 12, 2025, for failure to timely file for it [per Circuit Judge Stephen A. Higginson]. Hence, I perceive that my ninety days time limit for filing my application for the writ of certiorari commenced on August 20, 2025. The Appeal Court motion for IFPA, No. 24-30557, was timely submitted, but dismissed for what the Appeal Court cited per curiam as a briefing error that. I intend to litigate by the writ. My appeal in the Appeal Court from the final judgment of June 29, 2024, was not preserved by the untimely-filed Rule 49(e), Federal Rule of Civil Procedure [Fed R. Civ. P}, Motion For Rehearing, to Alter or Amend. But my appeal in the Appeal Court, otherwise, is from the timely notices of appeal J filed from the Rule 49(e) Motion to Alter ar Amend declined August 7, 2024, and from the Motion for Rule 60(b) Relief (Fed. R. Civ. P}, declined October 7, 2024. And, as stated, the present writ application is from the IFPA Appeal Court Motion declined there on August 20, 2024, having Appeal No. 24-30557. There was no copy of the Appeal Court's No. 24-30557 Judgment. enclosed with the Appeal Court Clerk's letter I was served with at the prison on August 25, 2025, Again, there was also no copy of the Appeal Court's Opinion and Mandate enclosed with the Appeal Court Clerk's letter I was served with on September 16, 2025. The District Court civil action, No. 21-537JWD-RLB, wae dismissed prior to service, hence the present motion and writ application are presented ex parte By circumstances beyond my control within the prison, thirty-three days were wasted out of my ninety days time limit for filing the writ application after the August 20, 2025, IFPA Appeal Court motion was declined, racing to get the deecribed motion for increase of time to file for rehearing researched and submitted. I am at the present time researching the areas of law involved in my District Court case and in my dismissed appeal to present. a. national crosssection af it to the Supreme Court by the application. Obtaining Clerk's copies of the described missing Opinion and Mandate will consume an unpredictable amount of time. A few years ago my petition was made untimely and rejected in an identical set of circumstances after Louisiana prison officials made the check payable to the wrong payee [“Lyle W, Cayce,” specifically, instead of “Clerk of Court,” after the same kind of copies of documents had been removed from the Appeal Court Clerk's envelope]. The law library word processor and Westlaw research equipment at the prison are far shorter in quality and availability than what an ordinary person would expect for a prison the size of Angola. In the path of those developments I am asking for an increase of time equal to some of the time I lost by the described unsuccessfi! motion for increase of time to file for rehearing and thirty days aided to it [forty days total] to obtain the documents I have to purchase by mail from the Appeal Court Clerk's Office using a D.O.C. issued check for it, to complete the research, and draft the document. I earnestly pray for it coming to pass. Respectfully, Mae (Soseun Mark Hanna. 132872 LSP, Main Prison, Ash-4 Angola, LA 70712 Case: 24-30557 Document: 68-1 Page:1 Date Filed: 08/20/2025 Gnite
