PER CURIAM:*

     The appellate brief submitted by Dan Holloway, Jr., does not

contain citation to authority or to the record.    Holloway makes

no effort to identify any purported error the district court made

in dismissing his civil rights suit.    We DISMISS the appeal for

want of prosecution.   See 5th Cir. R. 42.3.2.

     DISMISSED.

        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
