Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

Alcy Joseph, Jr., #207031, moves this court for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal from the dismissal of his

that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.

responded; however, the financial documentation submitted by
Joseph does not comply with the requirements imposed by the PLRA
because he did not submit a certified statement of his prison

IFP on appeal is DENIED, and his appeal is dismissed for want of
prosecution. Should Joseph wish to reinstate his appeal, he is
instructed to pay the $105 filing fee to the clerk of the
district court within 30 days.
MOTION DENIED. APPEAL DISMISSED.
