GLEN A. BANKS, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus VICTOR RODRIQUEZ; KRIS IMSAOGIE; RONNIE LOPEZ, Defendants-Appellees. _________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. CA-H-95-4728 _________________________________________________________________ July 5, 1996 Before JOLLY, JONES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Glen A. Banks appeals the district court's dismissal of his pro se and in forma pauperis (IFP) civil rights suit as duplicative pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). This appeal is without arguable merit and thus frivolous. Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20

(5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED.

5th Cir. R. 42.2. Banks is warned that any future frivolous filing will invite the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Banks should review any pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are frivolous.

APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.1
