Plaintiffs-Appellants,

H. E. COOPER, JR.; LAWANDA IRBY MORRIS,
Defendants-Appellees.
- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi USDC No. 4:96-CV-126 D-D - - - - - - - - - - February 10, 1998 Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Garry Lee Moore, Mississippi prisoner # 46504, and former
prisoner Jerry Lee Quinn request leave to proceed in forma
pauperis (IFP) in their appeal from the district court’s denial
of Moore’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. Quinn did not sign the
Rule 60(b) motion, and thus, he was not a party to the motion.
His appeal from the district court’s denial of the motion is
without basis in law or fact and, thus, frivolous. Howard v.
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 97-60589 -2-
King,
707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). His request for IFP
is DENIED. The appeal as to Quinn is DISMISSED.
Moore is BARRED from proceeding IFP under the Prison
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA) because, on at least three
prior occasions while incarcerated, Moore has brought an action
or appeal in a United States court that was dismissed as
frivolous.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); Adepegba v. Hammons,
103 F.3d 383, 388(5th Cir. 1996). Accordingly, 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). Moore’s request for IFP is DENIED, and the appeal as
to Moore is also DISMISSED.
Moore has 30 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 DENIED. APPEAL DISMISSED.
