Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 3:00-CV-530-LN
--------------------
December 11, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Alabama attorney Russelle L. Hubbard appeals, pro se, the
district court’s summary-judgment dismissal of his civil rights
lawsuit. Hubbard’s appellate brief contains numerous legal
arguments concerning the propriety of the summary judgment, but
he has failed to provide this court with a single citation to the
record.
The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure require the parties
to provide references to the page number of the record to support
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 01-60189
-2-
statements of fact. FED. R. APP. P. 28(a)(7) and (9)(A)(1998);
5TH CIR. R. 28.2.3. As Hubbard’s brief fails to cite the record,
he has not adequately briefed his challenge to the validity of
the district court’s grant of summary judgment, and we will not
consider his arguments. Grant v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 524 (5th
Cir. 1995); Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993).
The appeal is frivolous, and it is dismissed. Howard v. King,
707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
