Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas
USDC No. CA-H-95-4728
_________________________________________________________________
July 5, 1996
Before JOLLY, JONES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Glen A. Banks appeals the district court's dismissal of his pro se
and in forma pauperis (IFP) civil rights suit as duplicative
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). This appeal is without arguable
merit and thus frivolous. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
(5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED.
5th Cir. R. 42.2. Banks is warned that any future frivolous filing
will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Banks
should review any pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise
arguments that are frivolous.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.1
1
Banks's motion for contempt, order to compel, second motion
for contempt, and order of protection from retaliation are DENIED.
