PORTER v. FISHER (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

Keith La-Dale PORTER, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Commissioner Marshall FISHER, in his individual and official capacity; Warden Brian Ladner, in his individual and official capacity, Defendants-Appellees

No. 18-60155

Decided: July 25, 2019

Before BENAVIDES, OWEN, and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.

Keith La-Dale Porter, Pro Se Benny McCalip May, Esq., Office of the Attorney General for the State of Mississippi, Jackson, MS, for Defendants-Appellees

Keith La-Dale Porter, Mississippi prisoner # 392940, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit regarding prison conditions against Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) officials Marshall Fisher and Brian Ladner. However, apart from conclusory assertions, Porter fails to brief any argument that the magistrate judge erred in dismissing his claims. See Brinkmann v. Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987); see also Grant v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 524 (5th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, the judgment is AFFIRMED.
