                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:12-CV-75

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Eulogio Valentin Torres-Orellana, federal prisoner # 55895-112, an alien
against whom the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued
a detainer subjecting him to immediate removal from the United States upon
release from Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody, moves this court to proceed in
forma pauperis (IFP) to appeal the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 12-51052

challenging the BOP’s exclusion of him from rehabilitation programs and
halfway houses.      His arguments are foreclosed by this court’s decision in
Gallegos-Hernandez v. United States, 688 F.3d 190, 194-96 (5th Cir.), cert.
denied, 133 S. Ct. 561 (2012).
      Accordingly, Torres-Orellana’s motion to proceed IFP is DENIED, and his
appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
