Burns Tilton BOYD, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Gary WINTERS, Officer; NFN Holligan, Officer; W.E. Walker, Warden, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 04-10879.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided Nov. 8, 2004.
    Burns Tilton Boyd, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Amarillo, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    
      Before DAVIS, SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Burns Tilton Boyd, Texas prisoner # 1158136, seeks leave to proceed in for-ma pauperis (“IFP”) on appeal following the district court’s denial of IFP and dismissal of his complaint because he is barred by the “three strikes” provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Boyd alleges that he faces an imminent threat of serious physical injury because a fellow inmate assaulted him and the defendants are deliberately indifferent. Prison grievances submitted by Boyd show, however, that the inmate in question is no longer being housed in the same building as Boyd.

Boyd fails to meet the showing required to avoid application of the “three strikes” bar under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Banos v. O’Guin, 144 F.3d 883, 884-85 (5th Cir.1998). His motion to proceed IFP is DENIED. Because the district court properly applied 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), Boyd’s appeal is without merit and is DISMISSED. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir.1983); 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

IFP MOTION DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
