PER CURIAM:*
William Steve McGrew, Texas prisoner #374537, is BARRED from

while incarcerated, McGrew has brought an action or appeal in a
United States Court that was dismissed as frivolous or for
failure to state a claim. See McGrew v. Bush, No. 98-10107 (5th
Cir. June 16, 1998).

McGrew has 15 days from the date of this opinion to pay the
full appellate filing fee of $105 to the clerk of the district
