Ricky A. Caruthers, federal prisoner # 16601-075, appeals the district court’s *776 dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition, which challenged the 180-month sentence imposed upon his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924. Pro se briefs are afforded liberal construction. Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). Nevertheless, when an appellant fails to identify any error in the district court’s analysis, it is the same as if the appellant had not appealed that issue, Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Because Caruthers has failed to brief any challenge to the reasons the district court dismissed his § 2241 petition for lack of jurisdiction, he has abandoned the critical issue of this appeal. Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. Ml motions pending before this court are DENIED.
