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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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

Case: 19-20420       Document: 00515664302           Page: 3     Date Filed: 12/07/2020

                                      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.
