v.

MICHEAL KEITH DOLLAHITE,

                                                 Defendant-Appellee

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 6:14-CV-667

Before GRAVES, HIGGINSON, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       The district court dismissed Courtland Dewayne 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 fails to cure these
deficiencies. Accordingly, his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is
DENIED, and his appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous pursuant to Fifth Circuit

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 14-41163     Document: 00513238648      Page: 2   Date Filed: 10/20/2015

                                   No. 14-41163

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.
