Summary Calendar
ALS SCAN, INC.,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
DAVID WEINZAPFEL,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-01-CV-1500
--------------------
September 30, 2002
Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
David Weinzapfel appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment to ALS Scan, Inc. (ALS), in this copyright
infringement suit. Weinzapfel argues that ALS should not be
permitted to recover damages from him because ALS has “unclean
hands.” Weinzapfel did not raise this argument in the district
court. Consequently, we will not consider it. See Leverette v.
Louisville Ladder Co., 183 F.3d 339, 342 (5th Cir. 1999).

Because Weinzapfel has not briefed any issues that are properly
before this court, his appeal is without arguable merit and is
frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir.
1983). Because this appeal is frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See
5th Cir. R. 42.2.
