Henry Lee Sanders, Texas prisoner #666939, is BARRED from

proceeding in forma pauperis (IFP) under

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. (strike #2); Sanders v. Wilkinson, No. H-98-336 (S.D. Tex. Aug. 6,

1999)(strike #3).

Accordingly, Sanders’s IFP status is DECERTIFIED, and 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. See

(g). The appeal is DISMISSED.

Sanders has 15 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.
