IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 01-51069 Conference Calendar KENNETH W. BOULDS, Petitioner-Appellant, versus R.D. MILES, Warden, FCI Bastrop, Respondent-Appellee. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. A:01-CV-566-JN -------------------- April 11, 2002 Before SMITH, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Kenneth W. Boulds, federal prisoner # 66282-079, appeals the district court’s denial of his
28 U.S.C. § 2241petition based on its determination that Boulds had not demonstrated that relief under
28 U.S.C. § 2255was inadequate or unavailable. On appeal, Boulds renews the merits of the claims he raised in his petition. He briefs no argument that his claims are proper under
28 U.S.C. § 2241or that
28 U.S.C. § 2255relief is unavailable to him. By failing to brief such argument, Boulds has abandoned any challenge to the reasons for the district court’s judgment and * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 01-51069 -2- has thus waived the sole ground for appeal. See Yohey v. Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); FED. R. APP. P. 28. The appeal is without arguable merit, is frivolous, and is DISMISSED. See Howard v. King,
707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2. APPEAL DISMISSED.
