                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 3:00-CV-1452

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       David Lynd moves this court for authorization to proceed in forma
pauperis (IFP) in this appeal from the denial of his F ED. R. C IV. P. 60(b) motion.

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.

appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2. All other outstanding
motions are likewise DENIED.
