Neumann v. Veal
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit · Decided October 10, 2007
250 F. App'x 815

Neumann v. Veal

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

The district court has certified that this appeal is not taken in good faith, and so has revoked appellant’s in forma pauperis status. Our review of the record indicates that appellant is entitled to in forma pauperis status for this appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). The Clerk shall amend the docket to reflect this status.

Appellant appeals pro se from the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that defendants discriminated against him on the basis of his mental health condition by denying him access to education and work programs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo dismissals under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A for failure to state a claim. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We have reviewed appellant’s complaint, and we find that the district court erred in dismissing it for failure to state a claim. See Boag v. MacDougall, 454 U.S. 364, 365, 102 S.Ct. 700, 70 L.Ed.2d 551 (1982). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
