Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, MARTIN and BRANCH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Mack Foreman, Jr., a state prisoner, appeals pro se the sua sponte dismissal
of his amended complaint against state officials for injuries he allegedly suffered
after falling off a recycling truck during work release. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. “[W]e
read briefs filed by pro se litigants liberally,” but because Foreman does not
mention, much less dispute, the ruling that his claims against the officials failed to
state a claim for relief, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), we deem abandoned any
argument he could have made challenging the dismissal of his complaint on that
ground. See Timson v. Sampson, 518 F.3d 870, 874 (11th Cir. 2008). Foreman also
moves for the appointment of appellate counsel and for discovery, but we do not
order discovery and Foreman has no need of counsel on appeal. We affirm the
dismissal of Foreman’s amended complaint and deny his motions as moot.
AFFIRMED; MOTIONS DENIED.
