Jose Romero-Flores, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) dismissing his appeal as untimely filed. We require that arguments be briefed in order to be preserved; issues not adequately briefed are deemed abandoned. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); see also Soadjede v. Ashcroft, 324 F.3d 830, 833 (5th Cir. 2003) (issues not raised in alien’s petition for review of decision by BIA deemed abandoned). When an appellant, like Romero-Flores, fails to identify any error in the analysis of the judgment from which he appeals, it “is the same as if he had not appealed that judgment.” Brinkmann v. Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Romero-Flores has not argued or briefed the BIA’s dismissal of his appeal as untimely filed, the only issue arguably before this court. Accordingly, the petition for review is DENIED.
