October 23, 1996
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ricky Zamora, Texas prisoner # 556986, appeals the district
court’s dismissal as frivolous of his civil rights action against
Darwin D. Sanders, the warden at the Clements Unit. Although
Zamora states as the appellate issue that the district court
abused its discretion in dismissing his complaint, he has failed
to brief any argument on appeal, and his claims are deemed
*
Pursuant to Local 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.

abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.
1993). Because Zamora has presented no legal points arguable on
their merits, the appeal is frivolous, and it is DISMISSED. See
Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983); 5th Cir. Rule
42.2.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
