deprivation remedy for the negligent or intentional deprivation
of property by state officials. Murphy v. Collins, 26 F.3d 541,
543-44 (5th Cir. 1994).
This 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. R. 42.2.
We caution Horrice that any additional frivolous appeals
filed by him or on his behalf will invite the imposition of
sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Horrice is further cautioned to
review all pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise
arguments that are frivolous because they have been previously
decided by this court.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
