No. 21-30728
Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
Raoul A. Galan, Jr.,
Plaintiff—Appellant,
versus
Stephen Michael Petit, Jr.,
Defendant—Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 2:20-CV-2235
Before Jolly, Willett, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
The district court dismissed the pro se plaintiff’s case in a thorough
and well-reasoned opinion. Unsatisfied with the district court’s ruling, the
plaintiff appeals. However, because his homemade brief on appeal begins and
ends with a mishmash of plagiarized history and legalese that is so
unintelligible as to be utterly frivolous, any issues he attempts to raise on
*
Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
