Re:  Request for alleged written agreement that promised requester immunity from prosecution

Disposition:  Denying requester's motion to proceed in forma pauperis; dismissing requester's appeal as frivolous

• Litigation Considerations:  The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit holds that "[a]s to the denial of his Rule 60(b) motion, [the requester] focuses on the propriety of the district court's dismissal of his underlying FOIA action rather than the court's determinations that his Rule 60(b) motion raised mistakes of law more properly presented on appeal and that his FOIA action was dismissed as factually frivolous based on a finding that there was no immunity agreement."  "[The requester], thus, has not shown that he will raise any nonfrivolous appellate issues concerning the denial of his Rule 60(b) motion."
