Defendants-Appellees.

PER CURIAM:*

The appellate brief submitted by Woodrow Novak, #586839,

does not comply with Fed. R. App. P. 28(a) because it does not

contain citation to authority or to the record. Novak does not

formulate any argument that may be liberally construed and makes

no effort to identify any purported error that the district court

committed. See Grant v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 524-25 (5th Cir.

* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.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. 95-20876 - 2 -

1995). Accordingly, we DISMISS the appeal for want of

prosecution. See 5th Cir. R. 43.3.2.

DISMISSED.
