June 13, 1997
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DUHE’ and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Bennie Finister, Texas state prisoner #649506, requests
permission to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in the appeal of
the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. On March 4, 1997,
this court advised Finister that his appeal would be dismissed in
thirty days unless he moved to proceed IFP within the procedures
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 95-40665
- 2 -
of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), as amended by the Prison Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (“PLRA”). Although Finister timely responded,
the documents he filed do not comply with § 1915(a); the trust
fund account information covers the wrong six-month period. See
§ 1915(a). Accordingly, Finister’s 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 Finister 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. Finister’s motion for injunctive relief is DENIED
without prejudice to his right to refile the motion should he
choose to pursue his appeal by paying the appellate filing fee.
MOTIONS TO PROCEED IFP AND FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF DENIED;
APPEAL DISMISSED.
