Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. A-95-CV-331

August 20, 1996
Before KING, DUHÉ, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David D. Du Vall appeals from the district court’s grant of
summary judgment in favor of the Defendants and the dismissal of
his suit concerning the mistaken re-assignment of his rented post
office box. We do not reach the merits of the appeal as Du
Vall's suit is facially frivolous, insubstantial, and
"insufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of a federal court."
Dilworth v. Dallas Cty. Commun. College Dist., 81 F.3d 616, 617
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 96-50027
- 2 -
(5th Cir. 1996) (civil rights suit in which student complained of
receiving a "B" in English). As Du Vall's suit was so patently
trifling as to fail to invoke federal jurisdiction, his appeal is
frivolous, and it is DISMISSED as such. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
We caution Du Vall that any additional frivolous appeals
filed by him or on his behalf will invite the imposition of
sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Du Vall is further cautioned to
review any pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise
arguments that are frivolous.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
