PAUL CURTIS LEGGETT,
Plaintiff-Appellant
v.

TROY L. SELMAN, Warden, Correctional Institutions Division Wynne Unit,
Defendant-Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:15-CV-2440
Before JOLLY, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Paul Curtis Leggett, Texas prisoner # 1780272, appeals the district
court’s order denying his motions for appointment of counsel in his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 action. On appeal, Leggett briefs the merits of his § 1983 claim that his
constitutional rights have been violated by the misspelling of his surname. He
does not, however, address the district court’s denial of his motions for
appointment of counsel.

Accordingly, Leggett has waived the only issue

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

summary judgment, and directed verdict, which are related to the merits of his
§ 1983 action, are denied.
AFFIRMED; MOTIONS DENIED.
