Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:99-CV-110
--------------------
June 19, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Robert Lee Hartfield, Texas prisoner #598534, appeals from
the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint, for
failure to exhaust administrative remedies, and for failure to
state a claim upon which relief could be granted. 28 U.S.C.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 01-11276
-2-
§§ 1915(e)(2)(B), 1915A; 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), (c)(1). Hartfield
provides no facts to support his claims and no arguments in
opposition to the district court’s judgment of dismissal.
Because Hartfield fails to brief the only issues on appeal, his
claims are abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25
(5th Cir. 1993). The district court’s dismissal of the present
case and our dismissal of this appeal count as two strikes
against Hartfield for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See
Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 1996). We
caution Hartfield 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; THREE-STRIKES WARNING ISSUED.
