No. C 10-1523 MHP (pr).

ORDER
After this action was dismissed and judgment entered last month, plaintiff filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Docket # 10). The application is DENIED because the court already denied pauper status under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) in the order of dismissal. If the new pauper application was intended to be a pauper application for an intended appeal, it is DENIED because the court now certifies that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Also after entry of judgment, plaintiff filed a "motion for an objection and request to change of venue on the grounds of judge prejudice and petition for disqualification of a judge." (Docket # 11) (errors in source). The motion is DENIED because (a) the recusal request is untimely and not accompanied by a sufficient affidavit of bias necessary for recusal, see 28 U.S.C. § 144, and (b) the request for change of venue is untimely and incomprehensible. Neither filing is construed to be a notice of appeal because neither states or implies that an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is intended. Cf. Estrada v. Scribner, 512 F.3d 1227, 1236 (9th Cir. 2008).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
