ABIE WOLF,

              Appellant

v.

JUDY A. ROBBINS, As United States Trustee,

              Appellee




                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:16-CV-454


Before WIENER, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Abie Wolf appeals the district court’s dismissal of his appeal from the
decision of a bankruptcy court. The district court dismissed Wolf’s appeal
pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8003(a)(2) based on his


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                                 No. 17-50175
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
require that arguments must be briefed to be preserved.” Yohey v. Collins, 
985 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
district court’s dismissal of his bankruptcy appeal by failing to argue them in
the body of his brief. See 
id. The district
court’s dismissal is, therefore,
AFFIRMED. Wolf’s motion to supplement is DENIED as moot.
