Mell T. Bruton, a pro se Tennessee parolee, appeals a district court judgment dismissing his prisoner civil rights suit filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

While incarcerated in a Tennessee prison, Bruton filed suit for monetary damages against Men of Valor-Prison Ministry and its founder, Carl Carlsen. Bruton alleged *532 that the ministry discriminates by selecting only some members to receive solicited funds; that the organization had schemed to defraud him of his home, liberty, and life; and that the organization had denied him the necessary assistance to survive. The district court granted Bruton leave to proceed in forma pauperis and sua sponte dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).

In his filings on appeal, Bruton refers to disciplinary proceedings, continued incarceration following a grant of parole, and the recent death of an inmate. He moves for miscellaneous relief.

As an initial matter, we decline to consider any new claims that Bruton may be attempting to raise on appeal. We normally will only address issues that were first raised in the district court, unless exceptional circumstances are present. Dealer Computer Servs., Inc. v. Dub Herring Ford, 623 F.3d 348, 357 (6th Cir. 2010). No exceptional circumstances are present in this case.

Further, we will not consider Bruton’s original claims because he does not reassert them in his brief on appeal. Issues raised in the district court, but not on appeal, are considered abandoned and are not reviewable. Turner v. City of Taylor, 412 F.3d 629, 639 (6th Cir. 2005).

We affirm the district court’s judgment and deny all pending motions.
