v.

CITY OF ANGLETON; JUDGE ROBERT E. MAY; VON H. SHELTON,
Attorney; DALE SUMMA, Prosecutor; TERRI TIPTON HOLDER, Prosecutor,

                                                 Defendants-Appellees

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:16-CV-1868

Before JONES, WIENER, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Cristobal Moreno Orozco, proceeding pro se, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint challenging his 2000 Brazoria County, Texas, guilty plea conviction
for aggravated kidnapping, for which he was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The district court dismissed Orozcos’s claims as barred by Heck v. Humphrey,
512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994).          On appeal, Orozco does not address Heck.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.

                                 No. 16-20448

Although pro se briefs are liberally construed, even pro se litigants must brief
arguments in order to preserve them. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th
Cir. 1993). Because Orozco has not identified any error in the district court’s
analysis and determinations, he has abandoned them.         See Brinkmann v.
Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). The
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
