Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:02-CV-218
--------------------
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David Selver, Texas prisoner # 160221, appeals the dismissal
without prejudice of his Eighth Amendment claims. His brief is
devoid of legal argument and, given its most liberal
construction, simply asserts that he amended his complaint to
delete the claims that he is illegally incarcerated and to raise
only his Eighth Amendment claim. He does not assign error to the
dismissal of that claim for failure to file an amended complaint
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 02-41560

within the period prescribed by the magistrate judge. He has
therefore not presented an issue for this court to review.
Selver’s appeal is therefore without arguable merit and is
dismissed as frivolous. 5TH CIR. R. 42.2; Howard v. King,
707
F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983).
Selver is informed that the dismissal of this appeal as
frivolous counts as a strike for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g),
in addition to the strike he accumulated for the dismissal of
Selver v. Ford Motor Credit Co., No. 02-11044 (5th Cir. Jan. 24,
2003) (unpublished). See Adepegba v. Hammons,
103 F.3d 383, 388
(5th Cir. 1996). Selver also garnered a strike from the
dismissal as frivolous of his § 1983 complaint in Selver v.
Liberty Mutual Ins., No. 02-CV-1643 (N.D. Tex. Oct. 28, 2002)
(unpublished). Selver has thus accumulated three “strikes” under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). He is BARRED from bringing any civil action
or appeal in forma pauperis while he is incarcerated or detained
in any facility unless he shows that he is under imminent danger
of serious physical injury.
APPEAL DISMISSED; THREE-STRIKES BAR IMPOSED.
