July 12, 2000
Before JOLLY, DAVIS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mack B. Yates, federal prisoner #353752, has filed a motion
to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in his appeal of the jury
verdict denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. By
moving for IFP, Yates is challenging the district court’s
certification that IFP status should not be granted on appeal
because his appeal is not taken in good faith. See Baugh v.

Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997). Because Yates’ appeal
presents no nonfrivolous appellate issues, his motion is DENIED,
and the appeal is DISMISSED. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202 and
n.24; 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
