Appeal from the United States District Court

August 14, 1997
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Raymond Harris, # 85555, appeals the dismissal of his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint. Harris argues that the
district court erred in dismissing his § 1983 action pursuant to
Sandin v. Conner, 115 S. Ct. 2293 (1995). We have reviewed the
record and found no error in the reasoning of the district court.
See Harris v. Barr, No. 96-CV-359 (M.D. La. Jun. 6, 1996).
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 96-30698
- 2 -
Harris’ appeal is without arguable merit and, thus, frivolous.
See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983).
Because the appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir.
R. 42.2. Harris is cautioned that any future frivolous appeals
filed by him or on his behalf will invite the imposition of
sanctions. Harris is cautioned further to review any pending
appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are
frivolous.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
