CHRISTOPHER SHAWN COLLIER,
Petitioner - Appellant
v.
MYRON BATTS,
Respondent - Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:14-CV-187
Before BARKSDALE, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Proceeding pro se, Christopher Shawn Collier, federal prisoner # 10070-
180, appeals the dismissal, for lack of jurisdiction, of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241
petition. Collier challenges his 360-month sentence imposed following his
conviction in 2002 of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams
of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine, in violation of 21
U.S.C. §§ 841 and 846.
* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir.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. 14-11375
Pro se briefs are afforded liberal construction. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d
222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). Nevertheless, the failure to identify any error in the
district court’s analysis is the same as if the appellant had not appealed the
issue. Brinkmann v. Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th
Cir. 1987). Because Collier fails to challenge the district court’s dismissal of
his § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction, he has abandoned the critical issue
of this appeal.
AFFIRMED.
