                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Eastern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 6:06-CV-286


Before KING, WIENER, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Terrance L. Oliver, Texas prisoner # 739573, appeals the district court’s
dismissal of his pro se civil rights suit as frivolous and for failure to state a claim
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). Oliver complained that after he was moved
from safekeeping status to the general population, he was stabbed by another
inmate. While Oliver was at the infirmary, Lt. Wendell Warren ordered him to




      *
      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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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. 07-40408

return to his cell without medical care and prohibited the nurse from
documenting Oliver’s injury.
      Oliver argues that the district court erred in not allowing him an
opportunity to amend his complaint to exhaust administrative remedies against
Lt. Warren and to state a claim against Lt. Warren for interfering with access
to medical treatment. His first assertion is frivolous as the district court did not
dismiss his claims against Lt. Warren for failure to exhaust.
      The district court accepted Oliver’s assertions regarding Lt. Warren’s
conduct; thus, no amendment regarding this conduct was necessary to the
disposition of the case. Oliver does not suggest how he could have amended his
complaint to overcome the district court’s finding that his stab wound was a
superficial pinpoint wound and, thus, not a serious medical need. Accordingly,
Oliver has not shown that the district court erred in not allowing him to amend
his complaint. See Jones v. Greninger, 

, 326-27 (5th Cir. 1999);
Jacquez v. Procunier, 

, 793 (5th Cir. 1986).
      Oliver does not brief any argument challenging the district court’s
conclusion that he failed to state a constitutional violation because his injury
was not a serious medical need. Accordingly, he has abandoned any challenge
to the dismissal of that claim. See Yohey v. Collins, 

, 224-25 (5th
Cir. 1993). Oliver has not briefed and, thus, has abandoned any challenge to the
dismissal of his claims against Michael Unit Warden Thompson and Officers
Morris, Parker, and Self. See 

is without arguable merit and is dismissed as frivolous.
See Howard v. King, 

, 220 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. We
warn Oliver that the district court’s dismissal of his complaint and the dismissal
of this appeal count as strikes under § 1915(g), and that if he 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,

, 388 (5th Cir. 1996).
      APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
