Maxine Nicholson, Cypress, TX, pro se.
Brock C. Akers, Phillips Akers, Houston, TX, for Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, 4:04-cv-01601.Page 305
Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:[fn*]
[fn*] Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
Appellant appeals pro se from a jury verdict in favor of her employer in a discrimination case. Appellant points to no error. There is no legal argument or citation in the brief-only general conclusions. Although this Court liberally construes the briefs of pro se appellants, we also require that arguments be briefed to be preserved.Price v. Digital Equip. Corp., 846 F.2d 1026, 1028
(5th Cir. 1988) (citations omitted). Accordingly, Appellant has abandoned her arguments by failing to argue them in the body of her brief. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993) (citing Fed.R.App.P. 28(a)(4)).
In addition, to the extent her brief reflects her disappointment with counsel, the Sixth Amendment right to counsel does not apply to civil proceedings. Sanchez v.United States Postal Serv., 785 F.2d 1236, 1237 (5th Cir. 1986).
AFFIRMED.
