Before DAVIS, SMITH, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*

       Harvey Sossamon, III, Texas prisoner # 120297, has been barred from pro-
ceeding in forma pauperis (“IFP”) under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) because, on at least
three prior occasions while incarcerated, he brought an action or appeal in a
court of the United States that was dismissed as frivolous or for failure to state
a claim upon which relief could be granted. See Sossamon v. Cook, No. 07-10429
(5th Cir. Feb. 20, 2008) (unpublished); Sossamon v. Livingston, No. A-08CA-465-
SS (W.D. Tex. Nov. 24, 2008) (unpublished). The district court improvidently
granted Sossamon leave to proceed IFP on appeal.
       Accordingly, Sossamon’s IFP status is decertified, and the appeal is dis-
missed. Sossamon has 15 days from the date of this opinion to pay the full ap-
pellate filing fee to the clerk of the district court, should he wish to reinstate his
appeal. Sossamon’s request for appointment of counsel is denied.
       IFP DECERTIFIED; APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION FOR APPOINT-
MENT OF COUNSEL DENIED.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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