Christopher BLACKWELL, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Troy G. FOX, Parole Commissioner; James Hensarling, Parole Commissioner; Mandatory Supervision Board Members, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 13-40636
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    April 17, 2014.
    Christopher Blackwell, Henderson, TX, pro se.
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Christopher Blackwell, Texas prisoner # 1757862, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The district court concluded that Blackwell’s claim that he was unconstitutionally denied release to mandatory supervision was barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). Blackwell has failed to assign as error or brief the basis of the district court’s dismissal. As such, he has abandoned review of the dismissal of his complaint for failure to state a claim. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty., Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.1987).

AFFIRMED; MOTION TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF GRANTED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
