Delgado v. Bureau of Prisons

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED May 14, 2008 No. 07-40959 Summary Calendar Charles R. Fulbruge III Clerk ELPIDIO DELGADO, JR Plaintiff-Appellant v. BUREAU OF PRISONS; KATHLEEN HAWK-SAWYER; M MORRISON Defendants-Appellees Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 1:05-CV-401 Before KING, DAVIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Elpidio Delgado, Jr., federal prisoner # 83283-079, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his complaint challenging Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Program Statement 1351.05 under the Administrative Procedures Act, the Freedom of Information Act, and the First Amendment. Delgado does not challenge the district court’s dismissal of his claims arising under the Administrative Procedures Act and the First Amendment. Because Delgado fails to brief these * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 07-40959 issues, they are deemed abandoned. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Delgado’s challenge to Program Statement 1351.05 is without merit and fails to state a claim for relief under the Freedom of Information Act. See Harris v. Hegmann, 198 F.3d 153, 156 (5th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. 2
