Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Juan Antonio Sanchez, Texas prisoner #662378, appeals the
magistrate judge’s dismissal as frivolous of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical
needs.
Sanchez’s motion for production of documents is DENIED.
Sanchez’s own rendition of the facts indicates that whatever
deficiencies there may have been in his treatment, if any,
certainly do not rise to the level of establishing deliberate

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

indifference on the part of the defendants. Accordingly, the
district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing his
complaint as frivolous. See Norton v. Dimazana, 122 F.3d 286,
291 (5th Cir. 1997).
Sanchez’s appeal is without merit and therefore 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. The magistrate judge’s dismissal of the present case
and our dismissal of this appeal count as two strikes against
Sanchez for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). We caution Sanchez
that once he accumulates three strikes, he may not proceed in
forma pauperis 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; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
