IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-50440

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

KEVIN DWAYNE REVELL,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 6:05-CR-186

Before CLEMENT, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Kevin Dwayne Revell moves this court for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis (IFP) on appeal from the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a reduction of his 180-month sentence for conspiracy to 

distribute methamphetamine. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 

1997). In denying IFP status, the district court certified that Revell’s appeal 

was not taken in good faith. See id.

 

* 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.

To warrant leave to proceed IFP, Revell must show that his appeal will 

involve nonfrivolous legal issues. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th 

Cir. 1983). He fails to make the requisite showing. Accordingly, the motion 

for leave to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED and the appeal is DISMISSED. 

See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202 n.24; 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
