Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 5:99-CV-86-BrS
--------------------
April 14, 2000
Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
John W. Stevens, federal prisoner #86451-071, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. The
district court dismissed Stevens’s petition for lack of subject-
matter jurisdiction. Stevens has not argued this jurisdictional
issue on appeal; accordingly, he has abandoned any argument that
the dismissal was erroneous. See United States v. Heacock, 31
F.3d 249, 258 (5th Cir. 1994). We DISMISS the appeal as
frivolous. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.
1993); 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
