IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 95-60676
Summary Calendar
ROBERT DAWSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
DOUG BROGAN,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
For the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:94-CV-93LN
January 22, 1997
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Robert Dawson, No. 87563, a Mississippi state prisoner,
appeals the jury verdict in favor of Doug Brogan in Dawson’s
federal civil rights action. Because Dawson has failed to identify
and brief any issues for appeal, as required by even pro se
litigants, he has effectively abandoned any issues he could have
raised on appeal. See Price v. Digital Equip. Corp., 846 F.2d
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
1026, 1028 (5th Cir. 1988); see also Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d
222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
Dawson’s lack of identification and argument of any issues
renders his appeal without arguable merit. See Howard v. King, 707
F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). The appeal is DISMISSED as
frivolous. 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
We caution Dawson that any additional frivolous appeals filed
by him or on his behalf will invite the imposition of sanctions.
To avoid sanctions, Dawson is further cautioned to review all
pending appeals to ensure that they raise arguments that are not
frivolous.
