Summary Calendar

CHRISTOPHER SHAWN COLLIER,

Petitioner - Appellant

v.

MYRON BATTS,

Respondent - Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:14-CV-187

Before BARKSDALE, DENNIS, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Proceeding pro se, Christopher Shawn Collier, federal prisoner # 10070-

180, appeals the dismissal, for lack of jurisdiction, of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 

petition. Collier challenges his 360-month sentence imposed following his 

conviction in 2002 of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams 

of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine, in violation of 21 

U.S.C. §§ 841 and 846. 

 

* 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.

Pro se briefs are afforded liberal construction. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 

222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). Nevertheless, the failure to identify any error in the 

district court’s analysis is the same as if the appellant had not appealed the

issue. Brinkmann v. Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th 

Cir. 1987). Because Collier fails to challenge the district court’s dismissal of

his § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction, he has abandoned the critical issue 

of this appeal. 

AFFIRMED.
