-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-91-CV-3234 -------------------- February 17, 2000

Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Sonia Marie McMorris seeks leave to proceed in forma

pauperis (“IFP”) on appeal charging that the “defendant(s) while

within their respective areas of employment misused position to

`coerse’ [sic] plaintiff and `other victims’ to speak and/or act

in a manner of defendant(s) preference.” Because McMorris has

not demonstrated that she will raise a nonfrivolous issue on

appeal, her motion to proceed IFP is DENIED. See Howard v. King,

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 99-20905 -2-

, 220 (5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is

frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

IFP MOTION DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
