No. 96-60283 - 2 - judgment dismissing his civil rights claims against Tommy Jackson. As his appellate brief, Dallas has presented only a photocopy of a combined cross-motion for summary judgment and response to Jackson’s summary-judgment motion, which Dallas filed in the district court. By failing to identify or brief any appellate issue, Dallas has in effect abandoned any issues he may have raised on appeal, relative to the findings and conclusions which the district court stated in granting summary judgment to Jackson and in denying Dallas’s said motion. See Al-Ra’id v. Ingle, 69 F.3d 28, 31, 33 (5th Cir. 1995); Weaver v. Puckett, 896 F.2d 126, 128 (5th Cir. 1990). JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
