December 19, 1995
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jackie Oliver Teel appeals the dismissal of his civil rights
complaint as frivolous. Teel contends that a state-court judge
should have recused himself and that the judge failed to provide
him with a trial record, thereby denying him access to the
courts.
*
Local Rule 47.5.1 provides: "The publication of
opinions that merely decide particular cases on the basis of
well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the
public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that
Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published.
Nos. 95-10222 & 95-10466
-2-
We have reviewed the record, the district court's opinion,
and Teel's brief and conclude that Teel has failed to raise a
constitutional issue. Teel's appeal is frivolous and is
DISMISSED. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983);
see 5th Cir. R. 42.2. We caution Teel that any additional
frivolous appeals filed by him will invite the imposition of
sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Teel is further cautioned to
review any pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise
arguments that are frivolous because they have been previously
decided by this court.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
