2                                   PRICE   v. HHS



Pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3), Price may proceed in
forma pauperis on appeal without further authorization.
    The court notes that ordinarily oral argument is
rarely needed in pro se cases. See Guide for Pro Se Peti-
tioners and Appellants § 15. To the extent that Price
requests oral argument in this appeal, we defer that
request to the merits panel assigned to the case.
      Accordingly,
      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
      (1) The motion to proceed in forma pauperis is moot.
    (2) The motion for oral argument is deferred for con-
sideration by the merits panel. Copies of the motion, the
Secretary’s response, and this order shall be transmitted
to the merits panel assigned to the case.
