Appeal from the United States District Court for
the Western District of Louisiana
(00-CV-1097)
_________________________________________________________
Before REAVLEY, CLEMENT and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Although pro se pleadings are afforded liberal construction, see Haines v,
Kerner,
404 U.S. 519, 520,
92 S. Ct. 594 (1972), even pro se litigants must
adequately brief arguments in order to properly present them for consideration. See
Yahey v. Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). Appellants have made no
showing of the jurisdiction of this court and have inadequately briefed their
arguments. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
*
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not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in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.
