Before HIGGINBOTHAM, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Stanley Stephens appeals the dismissal of his petition for a writ of mandamus, which he filed while detained at the Tar-rant County jail. The district court determined that Stephens had not paid a $150 monetary sanction imposed in a prior case, and it dismissed Stephens' mandamus petition because it had been filed in violation of the standing sanction order.
Stephens raises a number of claims for relief based on his arrest, detention, and prosecution. Nonetheless, he does not dispute the district court's determination that he has not paid the monetary sanction, nor does he contend that his mandamus petition is not subject to the preclusion order set forth in the prior case. Stephens has failed to show that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his action for failure to comply with the standing sanction order. See Gelabert v. Lynaugh, 894 F.2d 746, 747-48 (5th Cir.1990).
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
