Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, BEAM, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant is hereby granted leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. The
Clerk is directed to appoint counsel to represent him.

The procedure in which a district court certiﬁes that an appeal is not taken in
good faith, and denies leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, should be limited
to civil cases. In direct criminal appeals, district courts should process a notice of
appeal in the ordinary fashion. If counsel believes that the appeal is ﬁivolous, the

Amiga-Pensgm procedure should be followed.‘ The Court of Appeals will then
determine the course of the appeal. -
