John Julian Dayse, Texas inmate # 498384, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as frivolous and for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Dayse contends that the defendants placed him in a holding cell for three hours in retaliation for his threats to file a grievance against defendant Doe, a prison guard, when Doe refused to change the television channel.

Dayse’s complaint and his response to the district court’s questionnaire reveal that he failed to allege facts to establish retaliation for the exercise of a constitutionally protected right. See Johnson v. Rodriguez, 110 F.3d 299, 310-11 (5th Cir. 1997). Dayse’s allegations also fail to show that he was deprived of any constitutionally protected interest, or that any defendant acted with deliberate indifference *820 to his health or safety. See Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 484, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995); Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 847, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

Dayse is warned that the district court’s dismissal of his action as frivolous counts as a strike under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). If Dayse accumulates three strikes, he will not be able to 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 Adepegba v. Hammons, 103 F.3d 383, 387-88 (5th Cir. 1996); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

AFFIRMED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
