This matter comes on for consideration of the Security and Exchange

Commission’s motion to dismiss this appeal as frivolous. The appellant has not filed

a response.

Upon consideration thereof, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED. The

appellant cannot make a “a reasoned, nonfrivolous argument on the law and facts in

support” of his appeal. Caravalho v. Pugh, 177 F.3d 1177, 1179 (10th Cir. 1999).

Moreover, although the appellant has filed a pleading in which he asks this court to

allow him to proceed in forma pauperis, he has not filed the affidavit required by §

1915(a)(1). See Lister v. Dept of the Treasury, 408 F.3d 1309, 1312 (10th Cir. 2005)

(§ 1915(a) applies to all persons applying for in forma pauperis status, not just to

prisoners).

The appellant’s request to stay the garnishment proceedings in state court is

DENIED.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
