- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. G-91-CV-205 - - - - - - - - - - May 15, 1996 Before GARWOOD, WIENER and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Claudis Dean Carrington, a Texas state prisoner, appeals from the district court's grant of summary judgment to the defendants in his civil rights suit. Carrington has filed with this court a request to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal. Carrington argues that the defendants denied him adequate medical care after he fell from a top bunk bed while incarcerated at the Chambers County Jail. We have reviewed the

No. 96-40099 -2- record and conclude that Carrington has not demonstrated that he will present a nonfrivolous issue on appeal. Accordingly, Carrington's motion to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED and the appeal is DISMISSED. See Carson v. Polley, 689 F.2d 562, 586 (5th Cir. 1982); 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
