2 Per Curiam: *
Dennis Ray Davis, Jr., now Louisian a prisoner # 469947, appeals the dismissal of his civil action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) as frivolous and for failure to state a claim. On appeal , Davis, a sanctioned litigant who paid the filing fee in this court, challenges th e denial of bail when he was a pretrial detainee, arguing that the claim does not challenge a crim inal judgment and is not barred by Heck v. Humphrey , 512 U.S. 477 (1994), typographical and booking errors resulted in the denial of bail, and he was falsely imprisoned
due to the denial of bail. Davis contends that the following were involved in denying him bail: the Caddo Parish Sh eriff’s Office; the Record Department
of the Caddo Parish Correctional Ce nter; staff at the Caddo Parish Correctional Center; Yolanda Williams ; Cherly Stills; and Sheriff Steve Prator. Additionally, Davis contends that the district court erred in referring his case to a magistrate judge withou t his consent, and he moves for the appointment of counsel.
Although the district court did not dismiss the foregoing denial of bail and false imprisonment claim as malic ious, we may affirm on any basis supported by the record. See Sojourner T v. Edwards , 974 F.2d 27, 30 (5th Cir. 1992). Because the claim repeat s the same factual allegations presented in Davis’s earlier cases, it warranted dismissal as ma licious, and we affirm on
that basis. See Pittman v. Moore , 980 F.2d 994, 995 (5th Cir. 1993); Bailey v.
Johnson , 846 F.2d 1019, 1021 (5th Cir. 1988); § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i); see also
Davis v. Wilson , No. 5:17-CV-1269, 2021 WL 1619348 (W.D. La. Apr. 26, 2021) (unpublished); Davis v. Wyche , No. 5:18-CV-9, 2018 WL 2946399 (W.D. La. June 12, 2018) (unpublished); Davis v. Wyche , No. 5:17-CV-1230, 2017 WL 6503992 (W.D. La. Dec. 18, 2017) (unpublished).

* Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4. Case: 21-30172 Document: 00516401824 Page: 2 Date Filed: 07/21/2022No. 21-30172

3 Next, it is unavailing for Davis to ch allenge the district court’s referral of the case to the magistrate judge for a report and recommendation. Such a delegation, as well as the magistrate judge’s issuance of findings and recommendations, is authorized under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), which does not require the consent of the parties. Last, by Davis’s failure to brief, all of his remaining claims are abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins , 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED as modified. Davis’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED . We
reiterate that Davis is barred under § 1915(g) 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 immine nt danger of serious physical injury.
See § 1915(g); see also Davis v. Whyce , 763 F. App’x 348, 349 (5th Cir. 2019);
Davis v. Comm’r Caddo Parish , 777 F. App’x 775, 776 (5th Cir. 2019). Further, Davis is WARNED that future repetitive filings in this court or any court subject to this cour t’s jurisdiction may subjec t him to sanctions, which may include dismissal, monetary sanction s, and restrictions on his ability to file pleadings.
