Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
________________________
(November 6, 2013)
Before PRYOR, MARTIN and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Case: 13-12695 Date Filed: 11/06/2013 Page: 2 of 3
Ronald Addvensky, proceeding pro se, appeals the sua sponte dismissal with
prejudice of his complaint brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Jim, last name
unknown, a CVS pharmacy manager, CVS Pharmacies Corporation, and the State
of Florida. The complaint was not clear in its allegations, but the district court
discerned causes of action for (1) breach of contract between Addvensky and CVS;
(2) a drug-trafficking conspiracy among Jim LNU, CVS, and the State of Florida;
(3) violation of the Equal Protection Clause; (4) discrimination against physicians
in Florida; and (5) violation of the Due Process Clause. Addvensky argues broadly
on appeal that the district court was biased and incorrect.
Generally, if a legal claim or argument has not been briefed before this
Court, with citations to authority and parts of the record relied upon, it is deemed
abandoned and its merits will not be addressed. Access Now, Inc. v. Southwest
Airlines Co.,
385 F.3d 1324, 1330 (11th Cir. 2004); Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(9)(A).
We construe pro se briefs liberally, but will not argue an appellant’s case for him.
See GJR Investments Inc. v. County of Escambia, Fla.,
132 F.3d 1359, 1369 (11th
Cir.1998), overruled on other grounds as recognized in Randall v. Scott,
610 F.3d
701, 709 (11th Cir. 2010). A pro se litigant who offers no argument on an issue
abandons the issue on appeal. See Timson v. Sampson,
518 F.3d 870, 874 (11th
Cir. 2008).

Addvensky’s appellate brief offers little to go on and follows none of the
requirements of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 28. We cannot determine
which, if any, of the district court’s particular rulings he challenges. Accordingly,
Addvensky has abandoned any argument on appeal. See
Timson, 518 F.3d at 874;
Access
Now, 385 F.3d at 1330. Even if Addvensky had preserved issues for appeal,
we could discern no error in the district court’s opinion.
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of
Addvensky’s complaint with prejudice.
AFFIRMED.
