v.
BURVON KING, also known as Chocolate,
Defendant - Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:92-CR-141-16
Before BARKSDALE, CLEMENT, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Burvon King, federal prisoner # 21029-077, appeals the district court’s
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) sentence-reduction motion. (He has filed
several such motions previously.) King’s brief is virtually identical to the motion
filed in district court. The brief fails to identify any error in the denial of his
§ 3582(c)(2) motion. Although a pro se brief is afforded liberal construction, e.g.,
Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993), when appellant fails to
identify any error in the district court’s analysis, it is the same as if appellant
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 12-11178
has not appealed that issue, Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner,
813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). King has abandoned the only issue on appeal
by failing to brief it adequately. E.g., Yohey, 985 F.2d at 224-25.
AFFIRMED.
