Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Burvon King, federal prisoner # 21029-077, appeals the district court’s denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) sentence-reduction motion. (He has filed several such motions previously.) King’s brief is virtually identical to the motion filed in district court. The brief fails to identify any error in the denial of his § 3582(c)(2) motion. Although a pro se brief is afforded liberal construction, e.g., Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.1993), when appellant fails to identify any error in the district court’s analysis, it is the same as if appellant has not appealed that issue, Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.1987). King has abandoned the only issue on appeal by failing to brief it adequately. E.g., Yohey, 985 F.2d at 224-25.

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* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
