Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:90-CR-7-1
- - - - - - - - - -
August 21, 1996
Before KING, DUHÉ, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Gary W. Barnett appeals the revocation of his probation. He
argues that his conduct amounted to no more than technical
violations of his conditions of probation and thus, should not
warrant revocation. We have carefully reviewed the record and
appellate arguments. We detect no abuse of discretion in the
district court's order of revocation. See United States v. King,
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 96-40037

990 F.2d 190, 193 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 114 S. Ct. 223(1993).
This appeal is frivolous and is thus DISMISSED. See 5th
Cir. R. 42.2. Counsel is warned that pursuing frivolous appeals
invites sanctions. See United States v. Burleson, 22 F.3d 93, 95
(5th Cir.), cert. denied, 115 S. Ct. 283 (1994).
DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
