July 31, 1996
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Donald R. Frank, #208829, appeals the dismissal of his civil rights suit as frivolous under
28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). We have reviewed the record and the decision of the district court and find
no abuse of discretion in the district court's dismissal of Frank's claim of due process violations in
his placement in lockdown. Accordingly, the judgment dismissing this claim as frivolous is
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule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.
No. 96-40375
-2-
AFFIRMED for essentially the reasons stated by the magistrate judge and adopted by the district
court. Frank v.
Garner, No. 5:96-CV-014 (E.D. Tex. April 9, 1996). Frank's claims of Eighth Amendment
violations during lockdown, constitutionally inadequate food, and denial of access to court have
been abandoned by Frank's failure to brief these issues on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d
222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
