Gaddy's argument that the magistrate judge exhibited * Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. No. 95-40451 -2- judicial bias by failing to subpoena all of the witnesses he requested is wholly without merit, rendering the appeal frivolous. We caution Gaddy that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Gaddy 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. See 5th Cir. Rule 42.2.
