February 29, 1996
Before GARWOOD, JONES, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Curtis Mack Lewis appeals from the district court's order
dismissing his civil rights action as frivolous pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915(d). He argues that prison personnel were

medication. We have reviewed the record and the district court's
opinion and find no reversible error.
On appeal, Lewis can present no legal points arguable on
their merits, and the appeal is frivolous. See Howard v. King,
707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is
frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. Rule 42.2. We caution
Lewis that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him will
invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Lewis 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.
