Courtland Lindsay, Tyler, TX, pro se.
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
The district court dismissed Courtland Lindsay's amended complaint for failure to provide a short and plain statement either of the grounds for federal jurisdiction or of his claims for relief. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a). Lindsay's largely unintelligible brief on appeal does not cure those deficiencies.
Accordingly, his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous pursuant to Fifth Circuit Rule 42.2. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 n. 24 (5th Cir.1997). Lindsay is again CAUTIONED that future frivolous or repetitive filings in this court will result in the imposition of sanctions, including dismissal, monetary sanctions, and restrictions on his ability to file pleadings in this court or any court subject to this court's jurisdiction.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
