1915A. In his complaint, Simon alleged that he was placed in lockdown in

during a shakedown; and that his complaints and grievances as to the seizure

of his property were not addressed. We review the dismissal of his complaint 

de novo. See Geiger v. Jowers, 404 F.3d 371, 373 (5th Cir. 2005).

Simon has failed to present any factual allegations or legal arguments 

regarding his claims, explain his allegations against any individual defendant, 

or identify an error in the district court’s conclusion that his complaint should 

be dismissed. Furthermore, he does not articulate the reason that he deserves 

relief, cite to legal authority, or set forth any applicable legal standards. See

FED. R. APP. P. 28(a)(9). While Simon has offered copies of documents that he 

filed in the district court, he may not incorporate by reference the arguments 

raised in those pleadings. See Yohey, 985 F.2d at 224-25. Accordingly, Simon

has forfeited any challenge to the district court’s judgment. See Brinkmann v. 

Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987).

AFFIRMED.
