No. 25-10949

(5th Cir. 2016); Edwards v. Doordash, Inc., 888 F.3d 738, 746 (5th Cir. 2018).

Similarly, the district court did not err in dismissing Shaik’s case for lack of prosecution. See Griggs v. S.G.E. Mgmt., L.L.C., 905 F.3d 835, 844 (5th Cir. 2018).

Furthermore, Shaik does not sufficiently brief the other arguments he raises on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas Cnty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987).

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
