June 16, 1999
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Glenn Williams, Texas prisoner # 696404, appeals the
district court’s grant of summary judgment for the defendant in
this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Williams has not adequately
briefed any argument relating to the district court’s grant of
summary judgment. See Grant v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 524 (5th
Cir. 1995); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813
F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987).
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 98-40690

Williams’ appeal is without arguable merit and is frivolous.
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED. 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. The
dismissal of this appeal as frivolous counts as a “strike” for
purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). We caution Williams that once
he accumulates three strikes, he may not proceed in forma
pauperis (IFP) in any civil action or appeal filed while he is
incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under
imminent danger of serious physical injury. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g).
APPEAL DISMISSED; WARNING ISSUED.
