Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:97-CV-566
--------------------
June 14, 2001
Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Paul K. Grubb (Grubb), prisoner # A0721417, appeals the
grant of summary judgment in favor of Peter A. Bidwell, M.D.
(Bidwell), who treated Grubb during his incarceration at the
Newton County (Texas) Correctional Center, in this 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action. Grubb’s motions for appointment of counsel are
DENIED. Grubb has not adequately briefed any argument relating
to the district court's grant of summary judgment. See Grant v.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 00-40734
-2-
Cuellar,
59 F.3d 523, 524 (5th Cir. 1995). Claims raised for the
first time in a reply brief will not be considered. See Yohey v.
Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224 (5th Cir. 1993).
Grubb’s appeal is deemed frivolous for failure to brief an
appealable issue. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED. 5th
Cir. R. 42.2.
This court's dismissal of this appeal as frivolous counts as
a strike for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). See Adepegba v.
Hammons,
103 F.3d 383, 387 (5th Cir. 1996). We caution Grubb
that once he accumulates three strikes, he may not 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 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(g).
MOTIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED
AS FRIVOLOUS; SANCTIONS WARNING ISSUED.
