The following excerpt is from Collins v. Pitchess, 641 F.2d 740 (9th Cir. 1981):
The district court's discretion to deny a prisoner leave to proceed in forma pauperis against his custodian is broad. See Shobe v. People, 362 F.2d 545, 546 (9th Cir. 1966) (per curiam). Reversal will occur only when there has been an abuse of discretion. See id.
