Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 95-CV-1016 F
- - - - - - - - - -
December 20, 1995
Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jacqueline Carr appeals from the district court's order
dismissing her complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d).
As the district court noted, although cast as a civil rights
action, her "complaint is, in essence, an appeal from the
bankruptcy court's decisions." Accordingly, the district court
did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the lawsuit.
*
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Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published.
No. 95-30408
-2-
Carr's brief is wholly without merit, rendering the appeal
frivolous. Because she failed to withdraw this appeal despite a
prior warning that frivolous pleadings would result in further
sanctions, Carr is ordered to pay monetary sanctions in the
amount of $200.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTIONS IMPOSED. See 5th Cir. Rule
42.2.
