Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
No. 4:05-CV-471
--------------------
Before SMITH, WIENER, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
James Callahan, proceeding pro se, appeals the dismissal with-
out prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as not ripe for re-
view. Although he renews the allegations of his complaint, Calla-
han does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that any re-
lief would be uncertain and speculative at this time.

No. 06-10285
-2-
By failing to brief any argument challenging the reasons for
dismissal, Callahan has abandoned the only grounds for appeal. See
Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); Brinkmann
v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.
1987). The appeal is without arguable merit and is therefore dis-
missed as frivolous. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2; Howard v. King, 707 F.2d
215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983). Callahan is warned that future frivo-
lous filings will invite the imposition of sanctions.
APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
