Michael Joseph Frericks, II appealed the dismissal of his civil rights action and the denial of injunctive relief. He sought to proceed in forma pauperis.
The court’s reasoning
The court found that Frericks failed to mention or challenge the district court’s reasons for dismissal, effectively abandoning his claims. His appeal did not involve a nonfrivolous issue.
Frericks has abandoned the critical issues by failing to brief them.
Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993)
What it means going forward
The dismissal of Frericks’s appeal means his civil rights claims will not proceed further in court.
