failure to provide a short and plain statement either of the grounds for federal
jurisdiction or of his claims for relief. See FED. R. CIV. P. 8(a). Lindsay’s largely
unintelligible brief on appeal does not cure those deficiencies.
Accordingly, his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is
DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous pursuant to Fifth Circuit
Rule 42.2. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n.24 (5th Cir. 1997). Lindsay
is again CAUTIONED that future frivolous or repetitive filings in this court
will result in the imposition of sanctions, including dismissal, monetary sanc-
tions, and restrictions on his ability to file pleadings in this court or any court
subject to this court’s jurisdiction.
