Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

JERRY LEON ROBINSON, also known as Jerry Robinson,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeals from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Mississippi

USDC No. 1:10-CR-103

Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Jerry Robinson, federal inmate # 15972-043, seeks leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis (IFP) in his appeals from the denial of his motions to compel 

counsel to surrender his case file and to dismiss the indictment for lack of 

subject jurisdiction. The appeals are CONSOLIDATED. 

 

* 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.

Neither of Robinson’s motions fell into a recognized category of postconviction motions. Consequently, the instant appeals are from the denial of 

“meaningless, unauthorized motion[s],” and the district court lacked 

jurisdiction to entertain them. United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 142 (5th 

Cir. 1994). Thus we pretermit as moot any ruling on Robinson’s IFP motions.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
