PER CURIAM:*
In No. 96-60387, Lewis Greenwood, prisoner # 64597, appeals
from the district court’s denial of his second Fed. R. Civ. P.
60(b) motion, arguing only that the underlying judgment was in
error. This he may not do. Charles L.M. v. Northeast Indep.
Sch. Dist., 884 F.2d 869, 870 (5th Cir. 1989); Aucoin v. K-Mart
Apparel Fashion Corp., 943 F.2d 6, 8 (5th Cir. 1991). Greenwood
has identified no error by the district court. Greenwood v.
United States Attorney General, No. 4:95-CV-403-S-A (N.D. Miss.
Apr. 23, 1996).
In No. 96-60420, Greenwood appeals from the judgment of the
district court’s dismissing his civil rights action as frivolous.
He argues that prison personnel were deliberately indifferent to
his serious medical needs and deprived him of due process by
transferring him to the prison psychiatric ward without a
hearing. Greenwood has identified no error by the district
court. Greenwood v. Hargett, No. 4:95-CV-50-D-B (N.D. Miss. May
20, 1996).
Thus, the appeals are frivolous. During the pendency of
these appeals, this court warned Greenwood about filing frivolous
appeals and cautioned him to review any pending appeals for
frivolousness. Greenwood v. United States, No. 95-60628, slip

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

op. at 2 (5th Cir. Aug. 19, 1996) (unpublished). He did not move
to dismiss either appeal. Accordingly, Greenwood is BARRED from
filing any pro se, in forma pauperis, civil appeal in this court
without the prior written approval of an active judge of this
court. Further, he is BARRED from filing any pro se, in forma
pauperis, initial civil pleading in any court which is subject to
this court's jurisdiction, without the advance written permission
of a judge of the forum court. The clerk of this court and the
clerks of all federal district courts subject to the jurisdiction
of this court are directed to return to Greenwood, unfiled, any
attempted submission inconsistent with this bar.
APPEALS DISMISSED; SANCTIONS IMPOSED.
