                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of Mississippi
                             USDC No. 3:13-CV-226

Before JONES, WIENER, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Patricia Cox filed this suit to challenge alleged violations of her rights
that occurred while she was jailed. The district court dismissed the suit after
determining, inter alia, that she had failed to serve the defendants with
process. Cox does not address the propriety of the district court’s conclusion

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 15-60421     Document: 00513815620     Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/29/2016

                                  No. 15-60421

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.
