a substance abuse program against his will. We have reviewed the
record and Curry's brief and conclude that there is no error.
Curry v. Wackenhut Correctional Corp., No. 4:95-CV-553-A (N.D.
Tex. Dec. 14, 1995).
The appeal is without arguable merit and thus frivolous.
See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983; 5th Cir.
R. 42.2. We caution Curry that any additional frivolous appeals
filed by him or on his behalf will invite the imposition of
sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Curry is further cautioned to
review all pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise
arguments that are frivolous because they have been previously
decided by this court.
APPEAL DISMISSED. SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
