-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana USDC No. 98-CV-171 --------------------
October 19, 1999
Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Isaac Omoike appeals the district court’s order granting a
motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim against any
defendant. Omoike’s brief does not address the district court’s
holding that Omoike failed to state a constitutional claim
against several defendants, and the issue is unreviewable on
appeal. Brinkmann v. Abner,
813 F.2d 744, 748(5th Cir. 1987).
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 99-30104 -2-
Although Omoike contends without legal support that prescription
does not apply against the remaining defendants because their
improper actions have resulted in a continuing violation, this
assertion runs counter to settled case law. See Davis v.
Louisiana State Univ.,
876 F.2d 412, 413(5th Cir. 1989). As
Omoike has failed to brief one issue and has failed to identify
district court error in the other, the appeal is frivolous and is
DISMISSED. See Howard v. King,
707 F.2d 215, 219-20(5th Cir.
1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
We previously cautioned Omoike that any additional frivolous
appeals would invite the imposition of sanctions. See Omoike v.
State of Louisiana, No. 98-30193 (5th Cir. June 2, 1998)
(unpublished). This court may impose sanctions on a litigant sua
sponte. See Coghlan v. Starkey,
852 F.2d 806, 808(5th Cir.
1988). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Omoike is sanctioned
$105, the cost of bringing this appeal. IT IS ALSO ORDERED that
Omoike remit payment to the Clerk of this court. Omoike is
reminded that, pursuant to this court’s opinion in Omoike v.
State of Louisiana, No. 98-31037 (5th Cir. June 15, 1999)
(unpublished), he is barred from filing any pro se pleading or
appeal in this court or in any court subject to this court’s
jurisdiction, without the advance written permission of a judge
of the forum court.
APPEAL DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS; SANCTIONS IMPOSED.
