Heading: M otion for Leave to Proceed ifp

Text: A prisoner seeking leave from this court to proceed ifp must show “the existence of a reasoned, nonfrivolous argument on the law and facts in support of the issues raised on appeal.” DeBardeleben v. Quinlan, 937 F.2d 502, 505 (10th Cir. 1991). After reviewing Irving’s contentions, and affording weight to the district court’s decision, Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 446 (1962), w e adopt the district court’s finding to the extent it found Irving has not presented a reasoned nonfrivolous argument, and thus the request to appeal is not taken in good faith. Based on the above, we DENY Irving’s request for a COA and dismiss his application. We D EN Y his request for an evidentiary hearing. Finally, we DEN Y his motion to proceed ifp and order him to immediately remit the full amount of the filing fee. W e remind him of his obligation to pay the filing fee even on a case that has been dismissed. D ISM ISSE D. Entered by the C ourt: Terrence L. O ’Brien
