IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 96-30586

Conference Calendar

CHARLES CARTER,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

versus

TOWN OF NEW ROADS, Mayor; JOHN R.

JARREAU; BUDDY JOE LEONARD; JAMES BEST,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Louisiana

USDC No. 95-CV-461-B-M2

October 24, 1996

Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Charles Carter appeals from the district court's dismissal of his civil rights complaint pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey, 114 S. Ct. 2364 (1994). Carter has not adequately briefed the district court's determination that his § 1983 claims are not cognizable under Heck nor has he briefed the court's determination that, insofar as Carter is seeking habeas relief, he has not exhausted his state remedies. These issues are therefore deemed abandoned on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule

47.5.4.
