Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, USDC No. 3:07-CV-125.

Before WIENER, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, circuit Judges.


Richard John Florance, Jr., a sanctioned litigant, moves to proceed on appeal from the district court's dismissal of his civil suit and for the removal of sanctions previously imposed by this court. Florance is barred from filing any pleading in this court without the prior authorization of a judge of this court, and we have warned Florance that any filing in this court that contains inappropriate comments concerning judicial personnel or other parties will be stricken and dismissed with prejudice. See In re: Florance, No. 07-40129 (5th Cir. Jun. 5, 2007); Florance v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 174 Fed.Appx. 200 (5th Cir. Mar. 29, 2006).

Despite our warning, Florance has again submitted pleadings to this court containing inappropriate comments concerning judicial personnel and other parties. Accordingly, Florance's motions to proceed as a sanctioned litigant and to remove the sanctions previously imposed by this court are DENIED. Florance's appeal is STRICKEN from the record and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Florance is warned that future inappropriate filings may result in monetary sanctions. All other outstanding motions are DENIED as moot.
