Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. G-95-CV-138
- - - - - - - - - -
June 26, 1996
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Wayne Weams, #688726, appeals from the district court's
dismissal as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) of his
civil rights complaint. Weams contends that he stated a valid
Eighth Amendment violation for denial of adequate medical care.
He has abandoned his claim concerning the absence of shower mats
by failing to brief it. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 96-40187
-2-
(5th Cir. 1993). We have reviewed the record and Weams' brief
and AFFIRM the order of dismissal for essentially the reasons
adopted by the district court. See Weams v. Burkhalter et al.,
No. G-95-CV-138 (S.D. Tex. Feb. 26, 1996). Weams is WARNED that
the filing of frivolous appeals in the future will result in the
imposition of sanctions.
AFFIRMED; SANCTIONS WARNING ISSUED.
