conviction is still pending in state court. Thus, the district court dismissed Mr. Bryan’s

The district court then denied Mr. Bryan leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal.
We have reviewed the record and have determined that Mr. Bryan has failed to make an

forma pauperis. Thus, Mr. Bryan’s motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis is
denied. The appeal is DISMISSED.
DISMISSED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
