USDC No. 3:13-CV-365
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
Case: 14-50229 Document: 00512769156 Page: 2 Date Filed: 09/15/2014
No. 14-50229
PER CURIAM:*
The court has carefully considered this appeal, but our consideration is
marred by insufficient and conclusory briefing. Appellant has waived his
claims on appeal by failing to adequately explain them and by failing to furnish
citations to the record. F.R.A.P. 28(a)(8); Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225
(5th Cir. 1993)(citations to record are necessary; pro se appellants must brief
arguments correctly to preserve them); Moore v. FDIC, 993 F.2d 106, 107 (5th
Cir. 1993). Most of his arguments do not challenge the grounds for the district
court’s dismissal of each of his claims. Nevertheless, we find no reversible error
of fact or law by the district court and affirm for substantially the reasons
expressed in that court’s conscientious and well-reasoned opinion.
AFFIRMED.
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
