PER CURIAM:* Robert Willis, Texas prisoner #646806, appeals the dismissal of his civil rights suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d).

No. 95-11225 - 2 - reviewed the record and Willis’ brief and find no reversible error in the reasoning adopted by the district court. Willis v. Klander, No. 2:95-CV-275 (N.D. Tex. Dec. 21, 1995). Further, we find that Willis’ appeal is frivolous, and accordingly, we DISMISS it pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

We caution Willis that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Willis 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. SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
