                       --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Northern District of Texas
              USDC Nos. 1:01-CV-167 c/w 1:01-CV-186
                       --------------------

Before JOLLY, WIENER, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Plaintiff-Appellant Muqtasid A. Qadir, Texas prisoner #743563,

appeals the dismissal of his pro se, in forma pauperis (IFP) 42

U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.      In his complaint, he raised claims of

failure to     protect,   retaliation,   deliberate   indifference,   and

flawed disciplinary proceedings.

     We note as an initial matter that Qadir does not argue that

the district court erred in finding that his challenge to his

disciplinary proceedings was barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S.
477 (1994).     Thus, we deem this issue to be abandoned.      Yohey v.

Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).

     Qadir’s claims that he was denied medical treatment and that

the defendants failed to protect him from other inmates fail

because he has not shown that the defendants acted with deliberate

indifference.     See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 837 (1994).

Qadir’s claims of retaliation fail to set forth a chronology of

events from which retaliation may plausibly be inferred. See Woods

v. Smith, 60 F.3d 1161, 1166 (5th Cir. 1995).

     *
        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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.

                                    2
     The district court’s dismissal as frivolous of Qadir’s 42

U.S.C. § 1983 complaint counts as one strike for the purposes of 28

U.S.C. § 1915(g).        Qadir is warned that if he accumulates three

strikes, he may not proceed IFP in any civil action or appeal while

he is incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is in

imminent   danger   of    serious   physical   injury.   See   28   U.S.C.

§ 1915(g).

     AFFIRMED; STRIKE WARNING ISSUED.
