Fulbruge III Summary Calendar Clerk CHARLES LAVEL STRINGER Plaintiff-Appellant v. WILLIAM BARNETT, BARBARA DUNN, JOHN WAITS, VICTORIA L. RUDLETT, DANIEL COKER HORTON & BELL, P.A., ET AL. Defendants-Appellees Appeal from the United States District Court Southern District of Mississippi USDC No. 3:06-CV-663 Before JONES, Chief Judge, and DENNIS and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.

These claims arose out of a trial where he was found liable for a motor vehicle accident. He has * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 08-60259 sued the current defendants—the presiding judge, jurors, witnesses, lawyers, etc.—alleging that they were part of a “mock trial.” This appeal is without arguable merit and thus frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Therefore, it is dismissed as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. Given the Appellant’s extensive and unsuccessful litigation record, Appellant is warned that future filings of repetitious or frivolous appeals may result in the imposition of sanctions. These sanctions may include dismissal, monetary sanctions, and restrictions on his ability to file papers in this court and any court subject to this court's jurisdiction. DISMISSED. 2
