Jonathan Marshall, Sr., federal prisoner # 17040-077, appeals the district court’s dismissal without prejudice of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition for failing to comply with the court’s order to file an amended petition using the form provided by the court.

We review a district court’s dismissal of an action for failure to prosecute or for failure to comply with any court order for abuse of discretion. McCullough v. Lynaugh, 835 F.2d 1126, 1127 (5th Cir. 1988). Marshall does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that he failed to comply with the court’s order to file an amended petition. By failing to brief any argument challenging the district court’s reason for dismissal, Marshall has abandoned the issue. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Thus, he has not shown that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his petition without prejudice. See McCullough, 835 F.2d at 1127.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
