IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 19-60434

RICKY R. EWING,

Plaintiff–Appellant,

v.

DOCTOR J. BURKE, Wilkinson County Correctional Facility; N. REED, 

HSA/Wilkinson County Correctional Facility,

Defendants–Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Mississippi

USDC No. 5:19-CV-34

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SOUTHWICK, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Ricky R. Ewing, Mississippi prisoner # 34353, seeks authorization to 

proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) following the district court’s dismissal without 

prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint and denial of leave to proceed IFP 

on appeal. Ewing has failed to show that he should be allowed to proceed IFP 

on appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Banos v. O’Guin, 144 F.3d 883, 885 

(5th Cir. 1998); Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 1996). 

* 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.

2

Ewing’s motion for leave to proceed IFP is DENIED. For the same reason, his

appeal from the district court’s dismissal of his suit without prejudice as barred 

under § 1915(g) is frivolous and is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2; Baugh v. 

Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n.24 (5th Cir. 1997).
