No. 23-30770

Henry has abandoned, by failure to brief, any challenge to the dismissal of his complaint. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993). In any event, the district court did not err in concluding that his claims, which asserted that his conviction and confinement based on a non- unanimous jury verdict violated his constitutional rights, were not properly brought under § 1983 and could be brought only in a habeas proceeding. See Poree v. Collins, 866 F.3d 235, 243 (5th Cir. 2017).

Accordingly, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. The dismissal of Henry’s complaint counts as a strike under § 1915(g). See Coleman v. Tollefson, 575 U.S. 532, 534 (2015). Henry is WARNED that, if he accumulates three strikes, he may not proceed in forma pauperis in any civil action or appeal while he is incarcerated or detained in any facility unless he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. § 1915(g).
