                                  No. 12-51013

      Jose Fierros-Valdez, federal prisoner # 10157-308, an illegal 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 the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”), moves to proceed in
forma pauperis (“IFP”) to appeal the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition chal-
lenging the BOP’s exclusion of him from rehabilitation programs and halfway
houses. His arguments are foreclosed by Gallegos-Hernandez v. United States,
688 F.3d 190, 192–93 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 133 S. Ct. 561 (2012).
      Accordingly, the motion to proceed IFP is DENIED, and the appeal is
DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
