RODGERS, SR., Plaintiff-Appellant, versus STATE OF TEXAS; JOHN NELMS, Judge, Defendants-Appellees. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:01-CV-1934-M -------------------- December 12, 2002 Before JOLLY, JONES, and WIENER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Michael D. Rodgers, Sr., appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Rodgers concedes that the district court’s reasons for dismissal were supported by citations to authority, but he contends that the dismissal was erroneous because the actions of the defendants were unfair. * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 01-11541 -2- Rodgers has failed to cite to any legal authority to support his contention. By failing to provide any legal analysis in support of his contention, he has waived the only issue on appeal. See Cavallini v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 44 F.3d 256, 260 n.9 (5th Cir. 1995). This appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS. 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
