Before GARWOOD, JONES, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
This case is here on a motion to proceed in forma pauperis
on appeal. This Court may authorize Washington to proceed IFP on
appeal if he is unable to pay the costs of the appeal and the
appeal is taken in good faith, i.e., the appeal presents

time credits. He also appeals the district court's taxation of
costs and issuance of a preclusion order preventing him from

We have reviewed the record and conclude that according to
his allegations, Washington has alleged no personal injury to him
from the application of these new policies and thus does not have
standing to challenge them. With regard to the costs and
preclusion order, we have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion and find no issue of arguable merit.
Accordingly, we DENY IFP and DISMISS THE APPEAL AS FRIVOLOUS.
See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
