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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.

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.
