failure to timely file a brief. Wolf does not address this issue in his briefing
before this court.
“Although we liberally construe the briefs of pro se appellants, we also

F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993) (quoting Price v. Digital Equip. Corp., 846 F.2d
1026, 1028 (5th Cir. 1988)). Wolf has abandoned any arguments regarding the

the body of his brief. See id. The district court’s dismissal is, therefore,
AFFIRMED. Wolf’s motion to supplement is DENIED as moot.
