Before SMITH, WIENER, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*




     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
      Nos. 98-30490, 98-30491, 98-30492, 98-30493, 98-30494

     Robert Kevin McCartney, Louisiana state prisoner #358987,

appeals from the district court’s dismissals of his five civil

rights complaints as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A.

These cases have been consolidated for purposes of this appeal.

McCartney argues that the district court erred by dismissing his

complaints as repetitious and duplicative of earlier litigation.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Because McCartney’s appeals are frivolous, they are DISMISSED.

See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5th

Cir. R. 42.2.

     We previously warned McCartney that additional frivolous

appeals would result in the imposition of sanctions against him.

Accordingly, McCartney is BARRED from filing any pro se civil

appeal in this court without the prior written approval of an

active judge of this court.   Further, he is BARRED from filing

any pro se initial civil pleading in any court which is subject

to this court’s jurisdiction, without the advance written

permission of a judge of the forum court.    The clerk of this

court and the clerks of all federal district courts subject to

the jurisdiction of this court are directed to return to

McCartney, unfiled, any attempted submission inconsistent with

this bar.

     APPEALS DISMISSED; SANCTIONS IMPOSED.
