   United States of America,

                                                                Plaintiff—Appellee,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Northern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 4:07-CR-138-1

   Before King, Costa, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          James L. Rudzavice, federal prisoner # 36844-177, appeals the district
   court’s denial of his motion to dismiss his criminal case for lack of jurisdiction
   under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rudzavice’s motion in the
   district court was “an unauthorized motion which the district court was

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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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

                                     No. 21-10714

   without jurisdiction to entertain. Thus, he has appealed from the denial of a
   meaningless, unauthorized motion.” United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 142
   (5th Cir. 1994).
          The motion to dismiss in the district court and this appeal from its
   denial both lack arguable merit. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED
   AS FRIVOLOUS. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983).
   5th Cir. R. 42.2. Rudzavice is WARNED that additional frivolous
   filings in this court or the district court will result in monetary sanctions and
   limits on his access to this court and any court subject to this court’s
   jurisdiction.
