Appeals from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Louisiana

USDC No. 2:13-CV-6800

Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges. 

PER CURIAM:*

Charles E. Marsala appeals the district court’s final judgment of 

dismissal. We conclude that Marsala has abandoned all his claims by failing 

to brief them adequately. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff 

Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Although his briefs are afforded 

liberal construction, Marsala is required to brief arguments in order to 

preserve them. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). 

Additionally, Marsala’s motions to supplement the record are DENIED; the 

proffered legal materials constitute briefing beyond the briefing cut-off date, 

and the proffered exhibits either duplicate documents already in the record or 

would improperly expand the record that was before the district court. See 

Theriot v. Parish of Jefferson, 185 F.3d 477, 491 n.26 (5th Cir. 1999).

AFFIRMED.

 

* 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.
