Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:12-CV-47
Before REAVLEY, JONES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Robert Anthony Hubbard, former Mississippi prisoner #109084, appeals
the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to
state a claim. On appeal, Hubbard provides only conclusory assertions that
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

No. 13-60676
the district court erred and that he demonstrated deliberate indifference to his
medical needs. Hubbard provides no citations to the record or reference to
relevant legal authorities.
Hubbard has effectively abandoned all arguments on appeal. See
Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.
1987). Because Hubbard’s appeal fails to set forth any issue of arguable legal
merit, it is frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983).
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. Hubbard is
WARNED that future repetitious or frivolous filings may result in the
imposition of sanctions including dismissal, monetary sanctions, and
restrictions on his ability to file pleadings in this court and any court subject
to this court’s jurisdiction.
