February 21, 1997
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Richard L. Chandler appeals the district court’s dismissal of
his civil action on grounds of res judicata. The district court
did not err in determining that Chandler’s claims were, in part,
barred by res judicata. See Schmueser v. Burkburnett Bank, 937
F.2d 1025, 1031 (5th Cir. 1991). The district court did not abuse
its discretion in enjoining Chandler from filing or proceeding in
any lawsuit against any party based upon facts, incidents, or

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
matters arising from or pertaining to the divorce decree. Villar
v. Crowley Maritime Corp., 990 F.2d 1489, 1499 (5th Cir.)
(en banc), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1044 (1993). Because the order
of sanctions does not reduce the monetary sanctions to a sum
certain, this court declines to consider Chandler’s arguments that
the district court abused its discretion in imposing monetary
sanctions. See Southern Travel Club, Inc. v. Carnival Air Lines,
Inc., 986 F.2d 125, 131 (5th Cir. 1993). Chandler’s request that
this court declare his marriage void is DENIED. Chandler’s motion
to strike the brief of the United States Army Finance and
Accounting Center and to compel Rachel Chandler to file an
appellate brief is DENIED.
The appeal is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
