IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-40002 Summary Calendar

CONRAD JULES BRAUN, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus MORRIS JOHNSON, Lieutenant, Defendant-Appellee.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 5:99-CV-246 -------------------- June 6, 2000 Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Conrad Jules Braun, Texas inmate # 05869-031, has filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in his appeal from his suit seeking injunctive relief. By moving for IFP, Braun is challenging the district court’s certification that IFP status should not be granted on appeal because his appeal is not taken in good faith. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997). Because Braun’s appeal presents no nonfrivolous appellate issues, the district court’s denial of IFP is AFFIRMED, and the * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 00-40002 -2- appeal is DISMISSED. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202 and n.24; 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
