February 11, 1998
Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
BY THE COURT:
Kenneth J. Malone, Texas prisoner # 662533, sought to appeal
the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint
for failure to comply with orders of the court. This court
directed Malone to file a fully documented motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal with the district court. The
court warned Malone that if he did not file the proper documents
with the district court his appeal would be dismissed under 5TH
CIR. R. 42.3 for failure to prosecute. Although Malone did make
a submission to the district court, it was not a properly
documented IFP motion as directed by the court. Consequently,
No. 97-10046
-2-
Malone’s appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution in
accordance with 5TH CIR. R. 42.3.
Malone has also filed an unsupported IFP motion, a motion to
stay judgment pending appeal, a motion for appointment of
counsel, and a motion to file a brief in excess of the page
limitation with this court. All of these motions are hereby
DENIED.
