Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 95-CV-426

- - - - - - - - - -

February 29, 1996

Before GARWOOD, JONES, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Melvin Hassan Tribbit appeals the district court's dismissal without prejudice of his civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for failure to pay costs imposed in a previous lawsuit. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Because the appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED. 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219- 20 (5th Cir. 1983).

*

Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.

No. 95-30836

In addition, we note that Tribbit has already had monetary sanctions imposed on him by this court. In spite of this, Tribbit has continued to file frivolous appeals. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Tribbit is barred from filing any pro se civil appeal in this court, or any initial civil pleading in any court which is subject to this court's jurisdiction, without the advanced written permission of a judge of the forum court. The Clerk of this court and the Clerks of all federal district courts in this circuit are directed to return to Tribbit, unfiled, any attempted submission inconsistent with this bar.

APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION IMPOSED.
