April 17, 1996
Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Frankie Lee Hogg appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment in favor of the defendant in his civil rights
complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This court reviews the
district court’s grant of summary judgment de novo. Weyant v.
Acceptance Ins. Co., 917 F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir. 1990). We
determine that the district court did not err in granting summary
judgment in favor of the defendant on Hogg’s claim that his
prison trust fundaccount had been improperly seized.
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 95-10918
-2-
This appeal is frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215,
220 (5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is frivolous, it is
DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. Rule 42.2.
Hogg is cautioned that any additional frivolous appeals
filed by him will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid
sanctions, Hogg is further cautioned to review any pending
appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are
frivolous.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTIONS WARNING.
