Reginald Rice applies for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFF’) in this appeal from the dismissal of his civil rights complaint. “Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), a federal court may refuse to certify an appeal for in forma pauperis status if it is not taken in good faith.” Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Rice’s IFP motion is construed as a challenge to the refusal to certify. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997). The inquiry into whether the appeal is taken in good faith “is limited to whether the appeal involves legal points arguable on their *732 merits (and therefore not frivolous).” Id. at 220 (quotation marks omitted).

Rice has not shown that the district court erred in determining that the only named defendant is absolutely immune from suit. The motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal is denied. Rice’s motion for injunctive relief is denied. The appeal is without arguable merit and is dismissed as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Howard, 707 F.2d at 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983).

All motions are DENIED. The appeal is DISMISSED.
