Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:01-CV-289
--------------------
Before KING, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, Warren G. Smith,
Jr., Texas prisoner # 490679, filed an interlocutory appeal from
the denial of his motion for injunctive relief in his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 suit. Smith has failed to brief any relevant issue and
therefore his appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. See Howard v.
King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

No. 02-41550
-2-
The dismissal of this appeal counts as a strike under 28
U.S.C. § 1915(g). Cf. In Re: Jacobs, 213 F.3d 289, 291 (5th Cir.
2000). Smith is warned that, if he accumulates two more strikes
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), he may not proceed in forma
pauperis in any civil action or appeal filed while he is
incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under
imminent danger of serious physical injury. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g).
APPEAL DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
