April 9, 1998
Before JOLLY, JONES, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Allen Kennedy, # 433834, has filed a miscellaneous
motion, unconnected with any district court proceedings, asking
this court to reduce his sanctions. He asserts that because he
has been unable to pay the sanctions over the past five years, it
is obvious that he will never be able to pay and will be forever
barred from filing any pleadings in the courts. He does not seek
to file any particular pleadings either in the district court or
in this court. He swears once again that he has learned his
lesson regarding his propensity to file frivolous litigation.
In 1995, Kennedy satisfied a $100 fine imposed in Kennedy v.
Little, No. 93-8221 (5th Cir. Sept. 22, 1993). Thus, he has

demonstrated some ability to pay his sanctions. The last time he
swore that he had learned his lesson, he had submitted false
documents to the district court. Further, his request is
premature because he does not seek to file any specific pleadings
at this time. Kennedy’s motion to reduce sanctions is DENIED.
