, at *1 (E.D. Mich. June 23, 2025). Petitioner has now filed a Notice of Appeal. (ECF No. 10). Petitioner also filed a motion for pauper status on appeal. (ECF No. 14). This Court already granted Petitioner leave to appeal in forma pauperis, it is thus unnecessary for Petitioner to again obtain permission to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. Petitioner’s current motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied as moot. See McMillan v. McKune,

(10th Cir. 2001). According, it is ordered that the motion for pauper status (ECF No. 14) is DENIED AS MOOT.

SO ORDERED.
