Before DAVIS, PARKER, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Edward James Brewer, Texas prisoner # 604784, seeks to
appeal in forma pauperis (IFP) the district court’s dismissal of
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Brewer is BARRED from proceeding
IFP under the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA)
because, on at least three prior occasions while incarcerated,
Brewer has brought an action or appeal in a United States Court
that was dismissed as frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g);
Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 1996); Brewer v.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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 5TH CIR. 47.5.4.
No. 97-40336
- 2 -
Ray, No. 94-10792 (5th Cir. Jan. 30, 1995) (unpublished; district
court and this court dismissed as frivolous); Brewer v. Strauss,
No. 92-1748 (5th Cir. Feb. 24, 1993) (unpublished; affirmance of
district court’s dismissal as frivolous).
Accordingly, Brewer’s IFP status is DECERTIFIED, and he may
not proceed IFP in any civil action or appeal filed while he is
in prison unless he is under imminent danger of serious physical
injury. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). This appeal is DISMISSED.
Brewer has 15 days from the date of this opinion to pay the
full appellate filing fee of $105 to the clerk of the district
court, should he wish to reinstate his appeal.
IFP DECERTIFIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
