Jesus GARCIA, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES, Defendant-Appellee, 519 F. App'x 328

PER CURIAM: Jesus Garcia, Texas prisoner # 1547814, seeks leave to appeal in forma pauperis ( IFP”) from the dismissal of his almost incomprehensible complaint' against the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. By moving to proceed IFP, Garcia challenges the district court’s certification that his appeal is not in good faith. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir.1997).

His challenge “must be directed solely to the trial court’s reasons for the certification decision,” id., and our inquiry “is limited to whether the appeal involves legal points arguable on their merits (and therefore not frivolous).” Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir.1983) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Even the most painstaking dissection and liberal construction of Garcia’s IFP motion yields no argument relevant “to the trial court’s reasons for the certification decision.” Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202.

Nor does Garcia identify arguable legal points sufficient to prevent dismissal of the appeal as frivolous. See id. Accordingly, the motion for IFP status is DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See id. at 202 & n. 24; 5th Cíe. R. 42.2. This frivolous appeal earns Garcia a “strike” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 385-87 (5th Cir.1996).

Garcia is warned that if he accumulates two more strikes by bringing additional frivolous actions or appeals, he will not be allowed to proceed IFP in any civil action while incarcerated or detained unless he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. See § 1915(g). Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
