February 11, 1999
Before BARKSDALE and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.*
PER CURIAM:**
Texas prisoner Joseph Reed, No. 634538, is BARRED from
proceeding in forma pauperis (IFP) under the Prison Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA) because, on at least three prior
occasions while incarcerated, Reed has brought an action or
appeal in a United States court that was dismissed as frivolous.
*
This matter is being decided by a quorum. 28 U.S.C. §
46(d).
**
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 98-10342
-2-
See Reed v. Wilkinson, No. 97-22347 (5th Cir. Apr. 10,
1998)(complaint dismissed as frivolous in district court; appeal
dismissed as frivolous); Reed v. Scott, No. 97-11347 (5th Cir.
June 17, 1998)(affirming district court’s dismissal of complaint
as frivolous); see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); Adepegba v. Hammons, 103
F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 1996). Accordingly, Reed’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.
Reed 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.
