In a prior appeal, this court determined that Texas prisoner

pauperis (IFP) under the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent

No. 97-40713
-2-
(PLRA) because, on at least three prior occasions while
incarcerated, King has brought an action or appeal in a United
States court that was dismissed as frivolous. King v. Walker,
No. 97-40830 (5th Cir. February 10, 1998); see 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g); Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir.
1996). Accordingly, King’s IFP status is DECERTIFIED. He may
not proceed IFP in any civil action or appeal filed while he is
in prison unless he is under imminent danger of serious physical
injury. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The appeal is DISMISSED.
King has 15 days from the date of this opinion to pay the
full appellate filing fee of $105 to the clerk of the district
court, should he wish to reinstate his appeal.
IFP DECERTIFIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
