Dickerson v. Hill

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 02-20648 Conference Calendar ROGER LEE DICKERSON, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus K. HILL; R. L. THALER; KENT RAMSEY, Defendants-Appellees. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-99-CV-3255 -------------------- December 12, 2002 Before JOLLY, JONES, and WIENER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Roger Lee Dickerson, TDCJ-ID# 371312, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint for failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Dickerson asserts that the prison law library supervisor denied him legal materials and required him to provide a civil action number before authorizing his legal mail, thus denying him access to the courts. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-20648 -2- Because Dickerson has not alleged any actual injury as a result of these actions, such as an inability to prepare or transmit a legal document, his complaint fails to state a claim. See Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 821 (1977); Brewer v. Wilkinson, 3 F.3d 816, 821 (5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, the district court did not err when it dismissed Dickerson’s complaint. See Black v. Warren, 134 F.3d 732, 733 (5th Cir. 1998); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). After Dickerson filed a notice of appeal in this case, a “three-strikes bar” was imposed. See Dickerson v. Hill, No. 02-20247 (5th Cir. Aug. 20, 2002)(unpublished). Dickerson is admonished that he may not proceed IFP in any other 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); Carson v. Johnson, 112 F.3d 818, 819 (5th Cir. 1997). AFFIRMED.
