ROQUE T. ARANDA,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

HENRY THOMAS HIRSCH; RICKY B. SMITH; GEORGE H. HANSARD; ALLEN J. HAMMONS, JR.; JAMES RAY CATON,

Defendants-Appellees.

-------------------- Appeals from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 5:00-CV-224-C -------------------- April 12, 2001

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Roque T. Aranda, Texas prisoner # 805045, appeals the

dismissal of his complaint alleging a conspiracy to convict him

as frivolous and malicious in accordance with

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B). Aranda argues inter alia that the district

court improperly dismissed his conspiracy claim as time-barred.

The complaint is time-barred. See Moore v. McDonald,

30 F.3d 616, 620

(5th Cir. 1994). This appeal is frivolous. See

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 00-10850 -2-

Howard v. King,

707 F.2d 215, 220

(5th Cir. 1983). It is

DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

The three-strikes provision of

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(g)

“prohibits a prisoner from proceeding IFP if he has had three

actions or appeals dismissed for frivolousness, maliciousness, or

failure to state a claim.” Carson v. Johnson,

112 F.3d 818, 819

(5th Cir. 1997)(citing Adepegba v. Hammons,

103 F.3d 383, 385

(5th Cir. 1996)). Aranda has previously had at least five

strikes against him. Aranda v. Key, No. 00-10849 (5th Cir. Feb.

14, 2001)(imposing

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(g) bar); Aranda v. Shaw, No.

00-10844 (5th Cir. Feb. 14, 2001)(imposing

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(g)

bar); Aranda v. Millsaps, No. 99-11394 (5th Cir. Aug. 29, 2000).

Aranda filed this appeal before the § 1915(g) bar was imposed.

He is reminded that he may no longer proceed IFP in any civil

action or appeal filed while he is incarcerated or detained in

any facility unless he is under imminent danger of serious

physical injury. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(g).

APPEAL DISMISSED; ALL OUTSTANDING MOTIONS DENIED.
