2 of his constitutional right s incidental to an arrest. The arrest led to a conviction for interstate stalking. See United States v. Conlan , 786 F.3d 380, 383 (5th Cir. 2015). The district court dismissed the action partly with prejudice, partly without prejudice, partly on the merits, and partly as barred by Heck v. Humphrey , 512 U.S. 477 (1994). We may affirm the judgment on any ground apparent from the record. Ballard v. Burton , 444 F.3d 391, 402 (5th Cir. 2006). On appeal, Conlan argues the merits of his claims of false arrest, selfincrimination, and the seizure of evidence from his motel room. He also asserts that the district court should not have dismissed any claim “with prejudice,” and that he should have been allowed to further amend his complaint more
than the two times the district court allowed. Because a judgment in Conlan’s favor “would necessarily imply the invalidity of his conviction or sentence

. . . the complaint must be dismissed unless [Conlan] can demonstrate that the conviction or sentence has already
been invalidated.” Heck , 512 U.S. at 487. Conlan does not address whether his claims are barred by Heck , and he does not assert that his conviction has been vacated or overturned in any way. Thus, any contention that his claims are not barred by Heck is abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins , 985 F.2d 222, 224

- 25 (5th Cir. 1993). In any event, and regardless of the district court’s limited application of
Heck , we conclude that all of Conlan’s claims on appeal are barred by Heck

. See H udson v. Hughes , 98 F.3d 868, 872 (5th Cir. 1996) (applying Heck to bar an illegal

- search claim); Hamilton v. Lyons , 74 F.3d 99, 103 (5th Cir. 1996) (regarding self -incrimination); Wells v. Bonner , 45 F.3d 90, 94 (5th Cir. 1995) (regarding false arrest and malicious prosecution). Conlan’s conclusional assertion that he should have been allowed to further amend his complaint Case: 15-50786 Document: 00513921577 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/22/2017No. 15

3 lacks merit because, at best, he would only have augmented claims that are barred by Heck

. The appeal is DISMISSED

. T he district court’s dismissal a nd ou r dismissal count as strikes under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Conlan already has
accumulated two strikes. See Conlan v. United States, 577 F. Ap p ’x 363, 364 (5th Cir. 2014). Conlan may not proceed 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. See § 1915(g). APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION BAR IMPOSED. Case: 15-50786 Document: 00513921577 Page: 3 Date Filed: 03/22/2017
