Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:97-CV-3-D-A
--------------------
April 14, 2000
Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Johnny Hudson, Mississippi prisoner No. 05459, appeals from
the district court’s denial of injunctive and mandamus relief.
Although this court liberally construes pro se briefs, see Haines
v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972), arguments must be briefed in
order to be preserved for appellate review and litigants must
support their arguments with citation to the record. Yohey v.
Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 223-24 (5th Cir. 1993); FED. R. APP.
P. 28(a)(9)(A). Hudson’s appellate brief does not comply with
this standard. Accordingly, we DISMISS the appeal.
