-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 5:01-CV-176 -------------------- December 6, 2002

Before JONES, DUHÉ, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:1

Eddie Arnold Leach, Jr., Texas prisoner # 825037, appeals the

district court’s dismissal of his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

lawsuit without

prejudice for failure to comply with a court order, pursuant to

FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b). Leach misapprehends the nature of the

district court’s dismissal and addresses his brief entirely to the

1 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. argument that dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative

remedies was incorrect. Leach does not make any argument regarding

the propriety of dismissal under Rule 41(b) and has thus waived the

sole ground for appeal. See Yohey v. Collins,

985 F.2d 222, 224-25

(5th Cir. 1993). Furthermore, Leach has not provided sufficient

information upon which we could order a remand to allow him to show

exhaustion. Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is

AFFIRMED.
