This court previously remanded the case to allow Hamilton to file in the district court a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) that contained the necessary financial information * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 96-40433 -2- required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PLRA) for the district court to ascertain Hamilton’s pauper status. The district court issued additional orders requesting from Hamilton an IFP motion accompanied by the required financial information. Hamilton failed to file an IFP motion in the district court and has not given the district court or this court any indication of his desire to continue on appeal in this case. Accordingly, Hamilton’s motion for leave to proceed IFP on appeal, which he filed prior to the remand, is DENIED, and his appeal is DISMISSED for want of prosecution. See 5th Cir. R. 42.3. Should Hamilton wish to reinstate his appeal, he is instructed to pay the $105 filing fee to the clerk of the district court within thirty days from the date of this order.
