No. 95-60650 (Summary Calendar) PHILLIP STOKES, Pl aintiff-Appellant, versus WILLIAM T. FERRELL, JR.; TOMMY FERRELL, JR.; ELI JOHNSON, Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi USDC No. 5:92-CV-56BN December 19, 1996 Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Phillip Stokes (Mississippi prisoner #63917), appeals the unfavorable jury verdict in his civil rights suit. We have reviewed Stokes’s contentions—except for those that are unreviewable because of Stokes’s failure to provide the court with a transcript—and we find no reversible error. Stokes’s appeal is frivolous and is dismissed. 5th Cir. R. 42.2. Stokes is reminded that any additional frivolous appeals filed by him or on his behalf will invit e the imposition of sanctions. To avoid sanctions, Stokes is again cautioned to review all pending appeals to ensure that they do not raise arguments that are frivolous.

APPEAL DISMISSED. SANCTION WARNING RE-ISSUED.
