October 23, 1996
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Wayne Morris Reeves, Jr., # 603172, appeals the dismissal of
his action as frivolous. The district court did not err in
construing it as an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We have
reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
reversible error. Reeves v. Director, TDCJ-ID, No. 3:95-CV-1377-

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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

X (N.D. Tex. Mar. 28, 1996). Further, we hold that this appeal
is frivolous and dismiss it accordingly. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
Reeves has been warned by this court that he may be
sanctioned for filing further frivolous suits. See Reeves v.
Texas, No. 95-10549 (5th Cir. Sept. 27, 1995). Accordingly,
Reeves is BARRED from filing any pro se, in forma pauperis, civil
appeal in this court without the prior written approval of an
active judge of this court. Further, he is BARRED from filing
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. The
clerk of this court and the clerks of all federal district courts
subject to the jurisdiction of this court are directed to return
to Reeves, unfiled, any attempted submission inconsistent with
this bar.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION IMPOSED.
