Dickerson v. Hill

Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 02-20648 Conference Calendar

ROGER LEE DICKERSON,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

K. HILL; R. L. THALER; KENT RAMSEY,

Defendants-Appellees.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-99-CV-3255 -------------------- December 12, 2002

Before JOLLY, JONES, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Roger Lee Dickerson, TDCJ-ID# 371312, appeals the dismissal

of his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

civil rights complaint for failure to

state a claim. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B). Dickerson asserts

that the prison law library supervisor denied him legal materials

and required him to provide a civil action number before

authorizing his legal mail, thus denying him access to the

courts.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 02-20648 -2-

Because Dickerson has not alleged any actual injury as a

result of these actions, such as an inability to prepare or

transmit a legal document, his complaint fails to state a claim.

See Bounds v. Smith,

430 U.S. 817, 821

(1977); Brewer v.

Wilkinson,

3 F.3d 816, 821

(5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, the

district court did not err when it dismissed Dickerson’s

complaint. See Black v. Warren,

134 F.3d 732, 733

(5th Cir.

1998);

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2)(B)(ii).

After Dickerson filed a notice of appeal in this case, a

“three-strikes bar” was imposed. See Dickerson v. Hill, No.

02-20247 (5th Cir. Aug. 20, 2002)(unpublished). Dickerson is

admonished that he may not proceed IFP in any other 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); Carson v. Johnson,

112 F.3d 818, 819

(5th Cir. 1997).

AFFIRMED.
