    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. David Jerome FRANK, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 11-30437
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Jan. 27, 2012.
    Cristina Walker, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Shreveport, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    David Jerome Frank, Forrest City, AR, pro se.
    
      Before GARZA, SOUTHWICK, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Proceeding pro se, David Jerome Frank moves for leave to proceed in forma pau-peris (IFP) to appeal the denial of his “Motion to Correct Prejudicial Clerical Error under Rule 86 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure[ ].” He asserts that the district court erred in denying the motion because the purported clerical error denied him the opportunity to file a motion for reconsideration of the district court’s decision denying reduced sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582.

Contrary to Frank’s assertion, any clerical error was harmless. At the time of the alleged error on April 1, 2010, it was too late for him to file a motion for reconsideration of the May 28, 2009, order denying a reduction in sentence. See United States v. Miramontez, 995 F.2d 56, 58 n. 2 (5th Cir.1993) (noting that motions for reconsideration “are timely filed if made within the period allotted for the noticing of an appeal”); Fed. R.App. P. 4(b) (2008) (providing a 10-day period for filing a notice of appeal in a criminal proceeding). Moreover, regardless of any clerical error, Frank was not entitled to relitigate his ultimate claim for resentencing because this court already had determined that he was not entitled to a reduced sentence.

Because the appeal does not involve legal points arguable on their merits, leave to proceed IFP is DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir.1983) (internal quotation marks omitted); 5th Cir. R. 42.2. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
