Case: 23-50614         Document: 53-1        Page: 2    Date Filed: 03/27/2024

                                   No. 23-50614

         John Bernard Williams, III, Texas prisoner # 02425623, has filed a pro
se appeal from the district court’s denial of his Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 60(b) motion challenging the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action and the denial of his motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the district
court.
         Williams does not meaningfully address the district court’s denial of
his motion or its stated reasons for dismissing his complaint. Brinkmann v.
Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). He has therefore abandoned any
challenge to the district court’s dismissal of his complaint or denial of his
Rule 60(b) motion. Id.
         Because the appeal lacks arguable merit and is therefore frivolous, it is
DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-
20 (5th Cir. 1983). His motions are DENIED.
