Before JOLLY, EMILIO M. GARZA and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
M.R. Mikkilineni has filed a motion requesting leave to appeal in forma pauperis (IFP). This
court may authorize Mikkilineni to proceed IFP on appeal only if he is economically eligible and his
appeal is not frivolous. Jackson v. Dallas Police Dep’t, 811 F.2d 260, 261 (5th Cir. 1986). After
reviewing the record, we find no issue of arguable merit. Accordingly, we
DENY IFP and DISMISS THE APPEAL AS FRIVOLOUS. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215,
220 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
IFP DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS.
