PER CURIAM: ^[*]

Marcus Gutierrez, Texas prisoner # 1865147, moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) and for the appointment of counsel in an appeal of the district court’s interlocutory order denying his motion for a preliminary injunction. Gutierrez’s IFP motion is a challenge to the district court’s certification that his appeal is not taken in good faith. See Baugh v. Taylor , 117 F.3d 197, 202 (5th Cir. 1997).

No. 16-50210

According to Gutierrez, the defendants violated his constitutional rights by not affording him additional medical procedures, protection, and medical treatment once his medical conditions were brought to their attention. Additionally, he asserts that Valencia Pollard acted improperly with regard to fulfilling his request for a copy of his prior medical records. Gutierrez’s assertions are bare and do not identify any extraordinary circumstances warranting reversal of the district court’s denial of his motion for a preliminary injunction. See White v. Carlucci , 862 F.2d 1209, 1211 (5th Cir. 1989).

Furthermore, Gutierrez has not shown that he will present a nonfrivolous issue on appeal. See Howard v. King , 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983). Accordingly, we deny his motions for leave to proceed IFP and for the appointment of counsel and dismiss the appeal as frivolous. See Baugh , 117 F.3d at 202 n.24; 5 TH C IR . R. 42.2.

The dismissal of this appeal counts as one strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Adepegba v. Hammons , 103 F.3d 383, 387-88 (5th Cir. 1996). Gutierrez is cautioned that if he accumulates three strikes under § 1915(g), he will not be able to proceed IFP in any civil action or appeal filed while he is incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under imminent danger of serious physical injury. See § 1915(g).

MOTIONS FOR LEAVE TO PROCEED IFP AND FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
