Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. CA-H-93-2301
- - - - - - - - - -
December 21, 1995
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Steven Wayne Brown appeals the dismissal of his civil rights
action as frivolous, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). Brown
lists several issues for appeal regarding his claims of mailroom
misconduct and use of excessive force against him; recites a
number of factual allegations regarding his mailroom misconduct
claims; and contends in conclusional fashion that the district
court did not review the record sufficiently before dismissing
*
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Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published.

his case, condoned the defendants' misconduct, and was not aware
of the jurisdiction of the U.S. Postal Service to redress
complaints regarding institutional mail. Brown has failed to
provide legal arguments sufficient to brief the issues he
indicates he wishes to raise for appeal. His conclusional
allegations of error by the district court are insufficient to
provide this court a basis for review of the judgment. See Grant
v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 525 (5th Cir. 1995), Andrews v. Collins,
21 F.3d 612, 632 (5th Cir. 1994), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 908
(1995). Because Brown has failed to brief any issues, his appeal
is frivolous.
We caution Brown that any additional frivolous appeals filed
by him will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid
sanctions, Brown is further cautioned to review any pending
appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are
frivolous because they previously have been decided by this
court.
DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
