John Henry Spivey, Jr., federal prisoner # 10158-002, requests leave to appeal in forma pauperis (IFP) from the district court’s denial of his motion to “revive” a prior appeal. Spivey’s motion was “unauthorized and without a jurisdictional basis.” See United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 141 (5th Cir. 1994). His appeal from the denial of this motion is frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Because Spivey’s appeal fails to present a nonfrivolous issue, his motion for IFP is DENIED. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 & n.24 (5th Cir. 1997). The appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
