                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:16-CV-2220




Before JONES, SMITH, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *

       Eric Flores, Texas prisoner # 2051801, moves for authorization to
proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) following the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.


       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 16-20587

§ 1983 complaint. Because Flores has raised only fanciful allegations, includ-
ing claims that he has already been executed and that the defendants have
utilized deadly technology to torture him and his parents, he has failed to show
that he should be allowed to proceed IFP on appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g)
or that his appeal presents a nonfrivolous issue. See Banos v. O’Guin, 144 F.3d
883, 885 (5th Cir. 1998); Carson v. Polley, 689 F.2d 562, 586 (5th Cir. 1982).
The motion for leave to proceed IFP is denied.

      The facts surrounding the IFP request are inextricably intertwined with
the merits of the appeal. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 & n.24 (5th
Cir. 1997). The appeal presents no nonfrivolous issues and is DISMISSED as
frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Flores is WARNED that any future frivolous,
repetitive, or otherwise abusive filings will subject him to additional and pro-
gressively more severe sanctions. Flores is DIRECTED to review all pending
matters and to move to dismiss any that are frivolous, repetitive, or otherwise
abusive.
