Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Eric Adams, a Texas prisoner (# 626162), requests permission
to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in the appeal of the
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. On January 9, 1997,
Chief Judge Politz ordered Adams either to pay the $105 filing
fee or to file financial documents required by the Prison
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PLRA”). Among the required
financial documents was a certified statement of his trust-fund
account “for the six-month period immediately preceding the date
of the filing of [his] notice of appeal, August 15, 1996.”
Although Adams timely responded, the “In-Forma-Pauperis Data”
form submitted by Adams does not comply with the PLRA
requirements because it contains information regarding his prison
trust account for the incorrect six-month period. See § 1915(a),
(b). Accordingly, Adams’ motion for leave to proceed IFP on
appeal is DENIED, and his appeal is dismissed for want of
prosecution. See 5th Cir. R. 42.3. Should Adams wish to
reinstate his appeal, he is instructed to pay the $105 filing fee
to the clerk of the district court within 30 days from the date
of this order.
Adams’ “Motion for Judicial Notice” is DENIED.
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO BE RECONSIDERED GRANTED; MOTION TO
PROCEED IFP DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
