Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 9:95-CV-53
- - - - - - - - - -
May 15, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DEMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Bobby A. Worth appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action. Because Worth does not address the basis of the district
court's dismissal of his complaint for want of prosecution pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b), he has abandoned the only issue before
this court on appeal. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy
Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, his
appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Worth's
motion for appointment of counsel on appeal is DENIED.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 96-40082

Worth is cautioned that any additional frivolous appeals filed
by him will invite the imposition of sanctions. Worth 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; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED; MOTION DENIED
