March 18, 1998
Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Roy Jon, a Texas prisoner (# 626840), appeals the district
court’s dismissal as frivolous of his pro se, in forma pauperis
(IFP) 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action in which he alleged that the
defendants retaliated against him for filing grievances; filed
false disciplinary reports against him; threatened and verbally
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

abused him, improperly forfeited his good-time credits; and denied
him a meal; a shower, and clean clothes.
Jon's waived his claim regarding good-time credits by not
briefing it on appeal. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th
Cir. 1993). Jon's supplemental and amended briefs should not have
been filed as they are not authorized under the Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure or the rules of this court. See FED. R. APP.
P. 28(a), (c), (j); 5TH CIR. R. 28.4. They are STRICKEN.
Jon argues that the magistrate judge improperly denied leave
to file a second amended complaint and that the district court
abused its discretion by dismissing his suit. We have reviewed the
record and Jon's allegations, and we conclude that the district
court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Jon’s § 1983
action as frivolous. Siglar v. Hightower, 112 F.3d 191, 193 (5th
Cir. 1997).
Because Jon’s arguments of error are wholly without merit,
this appeal is frivolous and is DISMISSED. See Howard v. King, 707
F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND THE INITIAL BRIEF DENIED;
SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFS STRICKEN; APPEAL DISMISSED.
