Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:01-CV-589
--------------------
August 23, 2002
Before JONES, STEWART, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jerry Mack Dorrough (“Dorrough”) appeals the district
court’s dismissal of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus
under 28 U.S.C. § 2241. The district court dismissed the
petition as improvidently filed because it was filed in violation
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 02-40199

of a sanction order. Dorrough reargues the merits of his
petition and argues that this court has erred in rejecting his
claims that his 1963 guilty-plea conviction for robbery of a
postal employee was invalid. He moves for an order staying a
pending parole revocation proceeding and to file a supplemental
brief.
Although Dorrough conclusionally asserts that the district
court erred in dismissing his petition, he has failed to make any
cogent factual or legal argument on that point and, therefore, he
has failed to brief the only issue for appeal. See Brinkmann v.
Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.
1987). This appeal is without arguable merit; the pending
motions are DENIED and this appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous.
See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR.
R. 42.2.
Dorrough is cautioned that should he, or any counsel on his
behalf, file any further frivolous pleadings relating to his 1963
conviction, in this court or any court subject to the
jurisdiction of this court, he shall be subject to sanctions. To
avoid sanctions for any matter that may be pending, Dorrough
shall review all pending matters and move to voluntarily dismiss
any that are frivolous.
MOTIONS DENIED, APPEAL DISMISSED. SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
