Leonard Ray Crooms, Texas prisoner # 352784, who is a sanctioned litigant, requests permission to proceed relative to an appeal of the district court’s denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas corpus petition. However, Crooms failed to request permission of the district court to file his petition, as he is required to do pursuant to this court’s order in Crooms v. Cockrell, No. 01-21003 (5th Cir. March 28, 2002). Therefore, Crooms’s application for leave to proceed is DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Crooms’s motions for leave to file a supplemental complaint and for a certificate of appealability are DENIED as having been improvidently filed.

PERMISSION AND MOTIONS DENIED.
