M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N


Appellant Shakazulu Assegai, VII, pro se, appeals from the dismissal of his claims against the State of Texas.  Appellant=s petition below and appellate brief in this Court include various allegations regarding the slave trade, discrimination since his birth in 1945, and the Ku Klux Klan.  Because he sued the State of Texas for monetary damages of $28 million,[1] he was required to allege legislative consent.  See Federal Sign v. Texas Southern University, 951 S.W.2d 401, 405 (Tex. 1997).  He did not, and the trial court granted the State=s plea to the jurisdiction asserting sovereign immunity. 

On appeal, appellant presents no argument or authorities establishing any such waiver.  Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
