LEVI REED, JR
Plaintiff-Appellant
v.
SAN ANTONIO AEROSPACE, LP
Defendant-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 5:05-CV-186
Before DAVIS, WIENER, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Levi Reed, Jr., moves this court for leave to proceed in forma pauperis
(IFP) on appeal from the summary-judgment dismissal of his employment
discrimination lawsuit. By moving for IFP, Reed challenges the district court’s
certification that the appeal is not taken in good faith. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117
F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997).

Reed has abandoned by failing to brief any argument challenging the
district court’s reasons for dismissing his lawsuit. See Brinkmann v. Dallas
County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Reed thus has
not shown that he will present a nonfrivolous issue on appeal. See Howard v.
King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, the motion for leave to
proceed IFP is denied, and the appeal is dismissed as frivolous. See Baugh, 117
F.3d at 202 n.24; 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
IFP MOTION DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
