Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Ronnie McGee, Mississippi prisoner # K4515, appeals the judgment entered in favor of the named defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit. However, his appellate brief fails to comply with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28(a)(8) as it is entirely devoid of any citations to documentary evidence or legal authority. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987) (stating that appellant’s failure to identify any error in lower court’s analysis is the same as if he had not appealed); Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.1993) (“Although we liberally construe the briefs of pro se appellants, we also require that arguments must be briefed to be preserved”) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
