) OPINION
Defendant-Appellee. )
BEFORE: ROGERS, BUSH, and LARSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. The district court dismissed Jahmir Frank’s suit for negligent destruction
of medical records after Frank failed to make any argument that Ohio recognizes such a tort. His
brief before us is similarly “devoid of any legal argument” in that regard. Cooper v. Commercial
Sav. Bank, 591 F. App’x 508, 509 (6th Cir. 2015). The striking legal emptiness of his brief means
that he abandoned the argument and forfeited his appeal. Id. Accordingly, we affirm.
