*210 PER CURIAM. *

¶1 Brian Hogan, Mississippi prisoner # 67388, 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 has moved for initial hearing en banc. See Fed. R.App. P. 3503). This motion is DENIED.

¶2 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.

¶3 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, 67 Fed. Appx. 248, 2003 WL 21145727 (5th Cir. Apr. 29, 2003) (unpublished).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).

¶4 AFFIRMED; MOTION DENIED; WARNING ISSUED.

¶5 Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
