HARRIS COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH; HOUSTON HOUSING

Staff,
Defendants - Appellees
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:13-CV-1875
Before KING, JOLLY, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The district court dismissed Young’s complaint on the grounds that (1)
Young failed to effect proper service of process upon the defendants within the
requisite time period, despite having been given extensions of time to do so,
and (2) it lacked subject matter jurisdiction because Young failed to set forth
facts establishing that the court had either federal question or diversity
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

jurisdiction over his lawsuit. Young’s opening brief contains no cognizable
issues for review and attaches irrelevant exhibits from outside the record. His
reply brief likewise fails to address, in a comprehensible manner, the basis for
the district court’s dismissal of his complaint. Based on our review of the
record, the district court did not err. We therefore AFFIRM the judgment of
the district court. Young’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
