February 11, 1998
Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Richard Amos McGee, Mississippi prisoner # 71701, appeals
the magistrate judge’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the
defendants in his pro se and in forma pauperis civil rights
complaint wherein he argued that he was denied access to the
courts. He argues that the magistrate judge erred in dismissing
his complaint and suggests that his consent to proceed before the
magistrate judge was not voluntarily given.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 96-60735
-2-
We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties
and find no reversible error. The record indicates that McGee's
consent to proceed before the magistrate judge was informed and
voluntary. The appeal is without arguable merit. Accordingly,
we DISMISS for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. See
McGee v. Johnson, No. 3:96cv92BN (S.D. Miss., Oct. 10, 1996). In
addition, we note that McGee has filed several civil rights
complaints in the district court and therefore warn McGee that
any frivolous appeals will invite the imposition of sanctions.
To avoid sanctions McGee should review any pending appeals to
ensure that they do not raise arguments that are frivolous.
APPEAL DISMISSED. SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
