Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
William H. Oliver moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal following the dismissal of his claims against the two defendants in his civil action. "This Court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction, on its own motion, if necessary." Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir.1987) (citation omitted). Defendant Bill Skinner's counterclaim against Oliver remains pending in the district court; we therefore lack jurisdiction over Oliver's appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 1292(a), (b); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b).
IFP DENIED. APPEAL DISMISSED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
