Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 9:01-CV-51
--------------------
Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Harry Fred Scott appeals from the dismissal of his civil
lawsuit for failure to prosecute under FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b).
Though Scott has proceeded pro se on appeal, he is still required
to brief his arguments adequately to preserve them. See Yohey v.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 03-40123
-2-
Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). Though Scott
contends that the dismissal was erroneous, he has failed to
support that contention with adequate argument. Therefore, the
appeal is dismissed as frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d
215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. The appellant is
WARNED that sanctions will be imposed if he files further
frivolous appeals.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
