Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
(97-CV-1266-C)
March 13, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
This is the latest in a long line of appellant’s contumacious
prolongations of this dispute. The claims he continues to advance
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. Rule 47.5.4.
are wholly without legal merit, and his continued pursuit of these
claims is in direct conflict with our earlier admonition that “any
additional frivolous appeals filed by him or on his behalf will
invite the imposition of sanctions.” We dismiss the appeal as
frivolous and, because of appellant’s blatant disregard of our
warning, we impose sanctions in two forms. First, we prohibit
Clark from filing in any federal court of the Fifth Circuit further
pleadings in any way arising from or connected with this litigation
or the facts underlying this dispute without the prior consent of
a judge of the court in which he seeks to file or a judge of this
court. Second, we award reasonable attorney’s fees and costs to
appellees, and, in connection therewith, invite appellees to submit
appropriate documentation to us in support of their requests for
reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, including
attorney’s fees.
Appeal DISMISSED; Motion for Sanctions GRANTED.
