      *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 99-30561
                                -2-

     Reggie Bourg moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis

(IFP) on appeal from the denial as moot of his motion to

intervene.   We have carefully reviewed the record in light of

Bourg’s motion.   The district court did not err in denying the

motion to intervene.   We conclude that there is no nonfrivolous

issue for him to appeal.   See Jackson v. Dallas Police Dep't, 811

F.2d 260, 261 (5th Cir. 1986).   IT IS ORDERED that IFP is DENIED.

     Because the appeal is frivolous, see 5th Cir. R. 42.2., the

APPEAL is DISMISSED.
