UNITED STATES v. GILMORE (2021)

David Belvin Gilmore, federal prisoner # 30415-177, has filed a notice of appeal and a motion for appointment of counsel. The notice of appeal did not designate the judgment or order being appealed as required by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 3(c)(1)(B). The district court's docket sheet reflects that there were no orders or judgments from which Gilmore could have appealed at the time the notice of appeal was filed.

In 2015, this court affirmed Gilmore's conviction and sentence. See United States v. Gilmore, 613 F. App'x 436, 436-37 (5th Cir. 2015). To the extent that Gilmore is attempting to appeal his conviction and sentence a second time, his appeal is without merit and thus frivolous. Accordingly, we DISMISS the appeal as frivolous. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Gilmore's motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
