                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Eastern District of Louisiana
                           USDC No. 2:10-MD-2179
                           USDC No. 2:19-CV-10295

   Before Stewart, Duncan, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Billy F. Larkin appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for an
   out-of-time appeal. To the extent that Larkin seeks reinstatement of his

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

                                     No. 21-30381

   original appeal, his motion should have been filed directly with this court and
   not in the district court. See 5th Cir. R. 27.1.6; see also United States v.
   West, 240 F.3d 456, 459 (5th Cir. 2001). In any event, Larkin fails to
   articulate a nonfrivolous challenge to the district court’s denial of his motion
   for leave to file a second, out-of-time notice of appeal. Accordingly, Larkin’s
   appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Larkin’s
   remaining outstanding motions are DENIED.
