UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT _______________________ No. 00-40833 _______________________ ANTHONY L. JONES, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus GREG FOUNTAIN, Defendant-Appellee. _________________________________________________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas Civil Docket #1:98-CV-1720 _________________________________________________________________ May 18, 2001 Before JONES, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Anthony L. Jones appeals the district court’s summary- judgment dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, specifically the dismissal of his claim of malicious prosecution.1 This court has carefully considered the appeal in light of the briefs and pertinent portions of the record. Having done * 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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 1 He has waived any argument that the district court erred in dismissing his false-arrest claim by failing to brief it. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1983). so, we find no reversible error of law or fact in the trial court’s grant of summary judgment based on qualified immunity. AFFIRMED. 2
