Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 2:00-CV-259-D-B
--------------------
June 13, 2001
Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Johnny O’Bryant, Jr., Mississippi prisoner # 41117, appeals,
pro se, the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for
failure to state a claim. O’Bryant’s motion for appointment of

shown that either his conviction, his sentence, or his probation
revocation has been overturned, expunged, or otherwise
invalidated, the district court properly dismissed his complaint
as barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87. See also
Jackson v. Vannoy, 49 F.3d 175, 177 (5th Cir. 1995)(Heck applied
to a probation revocation proceeding). The judgment of the
district court is affirmed.
The district court’s dismissal of O’Bryant’s complaint as
frivolous counts as a “strike” under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).
See Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 387-88 (5th Cir. 1996).
O’Bryant is cautioned that if he accumulates three “strikes”
under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), he will not be able to proceed 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).
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED. MOTION DENIED. SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
