certificate of bad faith

A quick definition of certificate of bad faith:

A certificate of bad faith is a document issued by a United States district court when a party has been allowed to proceed in forma pauperis, which means they are too poor to pay the usual court fees. This document states that if the party wants to appeal the court's decision, they must pay the regular fees and costs because their appeal would be frivolous, or without merit. This is different from a certificate of good faith, which is issued when a party has a valid reason for their appeal.

A more thorough explanation:

A Certificate of Bad Faith is a legal document issued by a United States district court. It is given to a party who has been allowed to proceed in forma pauperis, which means they are too poor to pay the court fees.

The certificate attests that if the party wants to appeal the court's decision, they must pay the regular filing fees and costs. If they cannot pay, the appeal will be considered frivolous and will not be allowed.

For example, if a person is allowed to proceed in forma pauperis in a court case and loses, they may want to appeal the decision. However, if the court issues a Certificate of Bad Faith, the person cannot appeal unless they pay the regular fees and costs.

This certificate is different from a Certificate of Good Faith, which is given to a party who has filed a lawsuit in good faith and has a valid legal claim.
