which he was incarcerated did not have a “Black’s Law
Dictionary.”
We have reviewed the record, the district court’s opinion,
and Badeaux’s brief, and find no abuse of discretion. Badeaux’s
appeal is frivolous and is DISMISSED. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d
215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); see 5th Cir. R. 42.2. We caution
Badeaux that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him will
invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Badeaux
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; SANCTIONS WARNING ISSUED.
