James M. Boone seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in his appeal from the district court’s denial of his request to proceed IFP in the instant suit, which is based on diversity of citizenship. Boone insists that the district court erred by denying his IFP motion because he is impecunious. Boone’s arguments are insufficient to show that he will raise a non- *322 frivolous issue on appeal. See Carson v. Polley, 689 F.2d 562, 586 (5th Cir. 1982). Consequently, his IFP motion is DENIED, and this appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
