DANIEL ARRIAGA, III, also known as Daniel Arriaga,

                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                            USDC No. 1:10-CR-789-1

Before DENNIS, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Daniel Arriaga, III, federal prisoner # 65810-280, moves for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal from the district court’s denial of his
motion for writ time to be allocated to his federal sentence, arguing that his
federal sentence should be credited for the time he spent in federal custody on
a federal writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum. The district court dismissed
the motion, stating that Arriaga was not entitled to credit because he had been

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                No. 18-50926

sentenced to consecutive sentences and had already received state credit. The
district court denied Arriaga leave to proceed IFP on appeal and certified that
an appeal would not be taken in good faith.
      By moving to proceed IFP on appeal, Arriaga challenges the district
court’s certification that the appeal is not taken in good faith. See Baugh v.
Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997). As he has not shown he can raise a
nonfrivolous issue regarding the denial of his motion, Arriaga’s motion for
leave to proceed IFP is DENIED and his appeal is DISMISSED AS
FRIVOLOUS. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202 n.24; 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
