that the suit should be dismissed for want of service. Because Cox has failed

to identify any error in the district court’s analysis of the question whether her 

suit should be dismissed for want of service, she has waived this issue. See 

Hughes v. Johnson, 191 F.3d 607, 613 (5th Cir. 1999); Brinkmann v. Dallas 

County Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). The district court’s 

judgment is AFFIRMED, and Cox’s request for appointed counsel is DENIED.
