ORDER AND JUDGMENT*


2
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir.  R. 34.1.9.  The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.


3
Plaintiff, a prisoner appearing pro se, appeals from the district court's grant of defendants' motions to dismiss or for summary judgment in this suit filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.  He argues on appeal that the district court abused its discretion by issuing a final decision.


4
Because his appellate pleadings offer no coherent explanation of his issue on appeal, we conclude the appeal is legally frivolous or fails to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) or (ii) for purposes of counting "prior occasions" under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).  Accordingly, this appeal will be dismissed.


5
The district court granted plaintiff leave to proceed in forma pauperis on April 1, 1998.  Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis filed in this court and referred to this panel is therefore moot.  Plaintiff is reminded that he remains obligated to pay the full amount of the filing fee.  See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).


6
DISMISSED.



*
 This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel.  The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir.  R. 36.3
