                         October 30, 2002

Before DeMOSS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Gary Don Robinson, Texas prisoner #661497, appeals from the

dismissal of his civil rights action as frivolous.     Robinson

contends, in relevant part, that his action was not barred by

Heck v. Humphrey, 

(1994).   Robinson also contends

that the district court erred by dismissing his action without

service of process, without compelling the defendants to respond,



     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 01-20671
                                -2-

and without holding a hearing pursuant to Spears v. McCotter,

(5th Cir. 1985).

     All of Robinson’s substantive claims implicate the validity

of his mandatory supervision revocation.   In order to prevail he

must show that the revocation decision has been “reversed,

expunged, set aside, or called into question[.]”     Littles v. Bd.

of Pardons and Paroles Div., 

, 123 (5th Cir. 1995).

Robinson has not made such a showing; his substantive claims

therefore are barred and we need not address them.    See 

U.S.C. § 1915A, under which Robinson’s action was

dismissed, requires district courts to dismiss a lawsuit upon

determining that a complaint is frivolous.   The statute does not

require service of defendants before dismissal.    See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915A(a), (b)(1).   Moreover, Robinson’s claims were developed

sufficiently for determination by the district court.    The

district court need not have held a hearing or used a

questionnaire.   See Eason v. Thaler, 

, 9 (5th Cir.

1994).

     Finally, the district court’s dismissal of Robinson’s action

and our dismissal of his appeal as frivolous each counts as a

“strike” against Robinson for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

Adepegba v. Hammons, 

, 387-88 (5th Cir. 1996).

Robinson is warned that he has two “strikes” and that when he

accumulates three strikes he will be unable to proceed in forma

pauperis (IFP) in any civil action or appeal unless he is under
                            No. 01-20671
                                 -3-

imminent danger of serious physical injury.     See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(g).

     APPEAL DISMISSED.   5TH CIR. R. 42.2.   28 U.S.C. § 1915(g)
