March 22, 1996
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DUHE’ and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Steven Gilbert appeals the denial with prejudice of his
civil rights action following the district court’s grant of
summary judgment for the defendants. The defendants did not
violate Gilbert’s right to due process by transferring him from
the Kyle unit to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ)
without giving him notice, a counsel substitute, and a hearing on
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
the disciplinary charge Gilbert alleges the parole board used to
set aside his tentative parole date. See Allison v. Kyle, 66
F.3d 71, 74 (5th Cir. 1995). By not arguing on appeal whether he
received due process regarding the disciplinary charge against
him once he was transferred back to TDCJ, Gilbert has abandoned
this issue. See Brinkmann v. Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.
1987).
AFFIRMED.
