PER CURIAM.
During the pendency of this appeal from the district court’s1 judgment
dismissing Stephen Carlson’s complaint and imposing sanctions against him, Carlson
reached a settlement with all but one of the appellees, and those appellees have been
dismissed. Because Carlson has not challenged in his appellate brief the district
court’s dismissal of his action against the only remaining appellee, the Minnesota
Department of Human Rights, see Griffith v. City of Des Moines, 387 F.3d 733, 739
(8th Cir. 2004) (issues not briefed are deemed abandoned), we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
