Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
John Wesley Patton, Texas prisoner # 751103, is BARRED from
proceeding in forma pauperis (IFP) under the Prison Litigation
Reform Act (PLRA), 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), because, on at least
three prior occasions while incarcerated, Patton has brought an
action in a court of the United States that was dismissed as
frivolous. See prior cases cited in Patton v. Jefferson
Correctional Center, 136 F.3d 458, 460-65 (5th Cir. 1998).
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

Accordingly, Patton’s IFP status is DECERTIFIED, and 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. See § 1915(g). The appeal is DISMISSED.
Patton 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.
