    Appeals from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 4:19-CV-1754
    USDC No. 4:18-CV-3551
    Before Wiener, Southwick, and Duncan, Circuit Judges.
    Per Curiam:*
    Raymond E. Carr appeals the district court’s dismissal without
    prejudice of Carr v. Gonzalez, No. 4:19-CV-1754, as barred by the 
    28 U.S.C. § 1915
    (g) bar. See § 1915(g). He also appeals the district court’s denial of his
    motion to reopen or amend the dismissal with prejudice of Carr v. Civil Rights
    Project, No. 4:18-CV-3551, for want of prosecution.         However, he has
    abandoned, by failing to brief, the only cognizable issues on appeal. See Yohey
    *
    Pursuant to 5th Circuit 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    opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

    No. 19-20420
    c/w No. 19-20621
    v. Collins, 
    985 F.2d 222
    , 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty.
    Deputy Sheriff Abner, 
    813 F.2d 744
    , 748 (5th Cir. 1987). The judgments of
    the district court are therefore AFFIRMED.
    Carr’s motions to supplement the record reference events that post-
    date the filing of these appeals. As those facts cannot be considered for the
    first time on appeal, those motions are DENIED. See Theriot v. Parish of
    Jefferson, 
    185 F.3d 477
    , 491 n.26 (5th Cir. 1999); Leverette v. Louisville Ladder
    Co., 
    183 F.3d 339
    , 342 (5th Cir. 1999). Because Carr has not shown that he is
    entitled to injunctive relief from this court in the first instance, his motions
    for preliminary and permanent injunctions are also DENIED. See Byrum v.
    Landreth, 
    566 F.3d 442
    , 445 (5th Cir. 2009); Amoco Prod. Co. v. Village of
    Gambell, 
    480 U.S. 531
    , 546 n.12 (1987); Greene v. Fair, 
    314 F.2d 200
    , 202 (5th
    Cir. 1963).
    Carr is REMINDED that, because he has accumulated at least three
    strikes under § 1915(g), he is barred from proceeding 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. He is also
    WARNED that, regardless of the § 1915(g) bar, any frivolous, repetitive, or
    otherwise abusive filings that he files will invite the imposition of additional
    sanctions, which may include dismissal, monetary sanctions, and restrictions
    on his ability to file pleadings in this court and any court subject to this court’s
    jurisdiction.
    AFFIRMED; MOTIONS DENIED; REMINDED OF
    THREE STRIKES BAR; ADDITIONAL SANCTION WARNING
    ISSUED.
