No. 23-50614

John Bernard Williams, III, Texas prisoner # 02425623, has filed a pro se appeal from the district court’s denial of his Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion challenging the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action and the denial of his motion to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court.

Williams does not meaningfully address the district court’s denial of his motion or its stated reasons for dismissing his complaint. Brinkmann v. Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). He has therefore abandoned any challenge to the district court’s dismissal of his complaint or denial of his Rule 60(b) motion. Id. Because the appeal lacks arguable merit and is therefore frivolous, it is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2; Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219- (5th Cir. 1983). His motions are DENIED.
