IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-40773

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

GEORGE DAVID REBANT,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 2:11-CR-720-2

Before CLEMENT, PRADO, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

George David Rebant, federal prisoner # 93999-279, seeks leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal. He challenges the denial of his 

motion for reconsideration of the denial of his IFP motion in the district court. 

His IFP motion was filed in connection with his appeal of the district court’s 

denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion seeking a sentence reduction. This 

court previously dismissed Rebant’s appeal from the denial of his § 3582(c)(2) 

 

* 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.

motion. United States v. Rebant, No. 15-40773 (5th Cir. Nov. 19, 2015) (order 

dismissing appeal as untimely).

Rebant does not address the district court’s reasons for denying his IFP

motion. When an appellant fails to identify any error in the district court’s 

analysis, it is the same as if the appellant had not appealed that issue. 

Brinkmann v. Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 

1987); see also FED. R. APP. P. 28(a)(8). Thus, Rebant’s motion to proceed IFP 

is DENIED, and his appeal is DISMISSED.
