were presented to the district court. He may not do so. See
Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). Because
James has failed to brief any issues on appeal, he has abandoned
any issues raised in the district court. See Evans v. City of
Marlin, Tex., 986 F.2d 104, 106 n.1 (5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly,
James’ appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
This court has previously warned James of the possibility of
sanctions for filing frivolous lawsuits. Accordingly, James is
barred from filing any pro se, in forma pauperis, civil appeal in
this court, or any pro se, in forma pauperis, initial civil
pleading in any court which is subject to this court's
jurisdiction, without the advance written permission of a judge
of the forum court or of this court; the clerk of this court and
the clerks of all federal district courts in this Circuit are
directed to return to James, unfiled, any attempted submission
inconsistent with this bar.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION IMPOSED.
