PER CURIAM.

Tony Alamo appeals the district court's order dismissing Alamo's bankruptcy action for failure to prosecute. Alamo's appeal must be dismissed because Alamo has not advanced any argument in his brief about the district court's underlying ruling. See Fed. R. App. P. 28; Slack v. St. Louis County Government, 919 F.2d 98, 99-100 (8th Cir. 1990) (per curiam); Jasperson v. Purolator Courier Corp., 765 F.2d 736, 740-41 (8th Cir. 1985). We thus dismiss Alamo's appeal. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
