NYGAARD, J.,
concurring.
I concur in the judgment reached by the majority. I conclude, however, that Appellant has met, albeit minimally, the requirements of Fed.R.App.P. 28, (a)(9), our local rules, and interpreting jurisprudence. I do not view appellant’s brief as so deficient as to constitute waiver. Here, despite Appellant’s somewhat shoddy effort, I understand enough of his argument and the record to conclude that his claims on appeal are meritless. I would affirm essentially for the reasons given by the Magistrate Judge in her Report and Recommendation, and adopted by the District Court in its Judgment Order.
