James Fillip Moats, Alabama prisoner # 162146, has filed a motion in this court *201 to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in the appeal of the dismissal of his civil rights complaint. Moats filed a pro se civil rights complaint in Mississippi after allegedly being denied dental and eye care while temporarily housed in a Mississippi Correctional Facility.

The district court adopted the recommendation of the magistrate judge (MJ) to dismiss Moats’s complaint without prejudice until he is free to return to prosecute his complaint within the jurisdiction of the Mississippi courts and to suspend the statute of limitations until such time as Moats is released from confinement outside Mississippi. After filing a notice of appeal, Moats filed a motion to proceed IFP on appeal. The district court denied Moats’s motion and certified that Moats’s appeal was not taken in good faith.

In the instant motion, Moats makes no reference to the district court’s certification decision or the reasons for the dismissal. Thus, Moats has not shown that he will raise a nonfrivolous issue on appeal or that the district court erred in certifying that his appeal was not taken in good faith. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993); Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, Moats’s motion for leave to proceed IFP is DENIED, and his appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n. 24 (5th Cir. 1997); 5th Cir. R. 42.2. The dismissal of Moats’s appeal counts as a strike for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 387-88 (5th Cir. 1996). Moats is cautioned that once he accumulates three strikes, he may not 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).

IFP MOTION DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
