TEXT ORDER directing Plaintiff to supplement 26 motion to appeal IFP. By September 1, 2026, Plaintiff must fully complete, execute, and file Form 4 of the Appendix of Forms to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Signed by Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell on 8/26/2026. (RCD) (Entered: 08/26/2026)

ENDORSED ORDER granting 29 motion for an extension of time to file the Eleventh Circuit Transcript Order Form. As explained in the Eleventh Circuit's internal operating procedures for FRAP 10, the use of the form is permissive. Moreover, when there are no district court hearings to transcribe--as is the case here--the internal operating procedures further provide that the absence of either the form or the FRAP 10(b)(1)(B) certificate is not considered a deficiency. Finally, use of the form does not appear necessary when a FRAP 10(b)(1)(B) certificate is filed, as was done here. Nevertheless, the Transcript Order Form (Doc. 29-1) is deemed timely filed. Signed by Magistrate Judge Nicholas P. Mizell on 8/26/2026. (RCD) (Entered: 08/26/2026)
