Heading: Exclusion of a Witness at Resentencing

Text: Cardona alleges that the district court erred by preventing Cardona from calling a witness at the resentencing proceeding. He states that Jesse Ramirez would have testified “that the trial court that sentenced and convicted him and his family is so tainted by errors and corruption that they cannot be relied upon.” 10 Case: 09-51174 Document: 00511433514 Page: 11 Date Filed: 04/04/2011 No. 09-51174 Cardona provides no analysis of the district court’s alleged error. Merely listing an issue is inadequate to raise the issue for appeal. United States v. Green, 964 F.2d 365, 371 (5th Cir. 1992). “‘Although we liberally construe the briefs of pro se appellants, we also require that arguments must be briefed to be preserved.’” Hernandez v. Thaler, 630 F.3d 420, 426 n.24 (5th Cir. 2011) (per curiam) (quoting Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993)). Cardona thus waived this issue.
