Appellant James Charles Davis appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as frivolous. Davis was arrested for burglary of a habitation after allegedly entering his neighbor’s house carrying a hammer and a knife and barricading himself in a bathroom, while holding his neighbor at knife-point. After Davis refused to undergo a mental competency examination, the district attorney reduced the charge to theft, and Davis pleaded guilty.

The district court determined that Davis’s suit against law enforcement officials, the sheriffs department, and his neighbors was barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994), because Davis’s theft conviction has not been overturned or otherwise invalidated. Davis does not dispute the district court’s ruling. Instead, he asks this court to expunge his record, to punish the defendants, and to award damages. Because he does not address the basis for the dismissal of his suit, he has waived any argument that his suit is not barred by Heck. See Brewster v. Dretke, 587 F.3d 764, 768 n. 2 (5th Cir. 2009) (pro se § 1983 litigant waives issue by failing to brief it). The appeal is DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS, as it lacks any issues of arguable merit. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983). Davis’s motions for appointment of counsel and change of venue are DENIED.
