The Clerk entered Judgment on April 29, 2020. (Doc. #31). Plaintiff was represented by counsel in this matter. (Doc. #16).

On August 3, 2020, the Court received notice that plaintiff filed a pro se notice of appeal, dated July 25, 2020. (Doc. #33). On September 9, 2020, the Court received from plaintiff a motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. (Doc. #34).

The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the Judgment or from the April 28 Opinion and Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purposes of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). Accordingly, the plaintiff's motion is DENIED.
