          Appeal from the United States District Court
            for the Northern District of Mississippi
                     USDC No. 4:02-CV-253-DA
                       --------------------

Before KING, Chief Judge, and SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Brian Hogan, Mississippi prisoner # 67383, challenges the

district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for

failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.         He

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                           No. 03-60240
                                -2-

has moved for initial hearing en banc.    See FED. R. APP. P. 35(b).

This motion is DENIED.

     Hogan contends that he was denied due process at a prison

classification hearing, at which he was determined to be a gang

member and was lowered in custody status.    He also asserts that

his lengthy placement in administrative segregation denies due

process.   He has not established that he has a liberty interest

in his classification or custodial status.    See Harper v.

Showers, 174 F.3d 716, 719 (5th Cir. 1999); Martin v. Scott, 156
F.3d 578, 580 (5th Cir. 1998).   Hogan has not shown that the

district court erred in dismissing his civil rights complaint.

See Black v. Warren, 134 F.3d 732, 733-34 (5th Cir. 1998).

Consequently, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

     After Hogan filed the instant appeal in forma pauperis

(IFP), this court imposed the three-strikes bar against him.     See

Hogan v. Johnson, No. 02-60631 (5th Cir. Apr. 29, 2003)

(unpublished).   Hogan is admonished that, in the future, he may

not proceed IFP in any civil action or appeal filed while he is

incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is under

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

§ 1915(g).

     AFFIRMED; MOTION DENIED; WARNING ISSUED.
