Derek Bounds, #644236, appeals from the judgment rendered
following a jury verdict in favor of the defendants in his civil
rights complaint brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Because
he does not raise any issue appropriate to the posture of this
case, the issues are deemed abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins, 985
F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). With no appealable issue before

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

the court, Bounds’ appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. We caution
Bounds that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him or on
his behalf will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid
sanctions, Bounds is further cautioned to review any pending
appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are
frivolous.
Bounds’ two motions requesting that he be transferred from
the Darrington Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
Institutional Division, are DENIED.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTIONS WARNING ISSUED.
