PER CURIAM:

Kevin Dwayne Revell moves this court for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) on appeal from the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a reduction of his 180-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. See Baugh v. Taylor, 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir.1997). In denying IFP status, the district court certified that Re-vell’s appeal was not taken in good faith. See id.

To warrant leave to proceed IFP, Revell must show that his appeal will involve nonfrivolous legal issues. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir.1983). He fails to make the requisite showing. Accordingly, the motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal is DENIED and the appeal is DISMISSED. See Baugh, 117 F.3d at 202 n. 24; 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
