             Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Western District of Louisiana
                           USDC No. 99-CV-1004
                          --------------------
                            December 13, 2000

Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

         Mary Ann Biddle Lovell, pro se and proceeding in forma

pauperis (IFP), filed a civil rights complaint against numerous

officials in the State of Louisiana University system including

numerous members of the faculty at Grambling State University.




     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                           No. 00-30411
                                -2-

The district court dismissed the action as frivolous under 28

U.S.C .§ 1915(e) because Lovell’s conclusional allegations would

not support a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

     In her brief on appeal, Lovell does not specifically address

the district court’s dismissal of her case as frivolous.

Although we apply less stringent standards to parties proceeding

pro se than to parties represented by counsel and liberally

construe briefs of pro se litigants, pro se parties must brief

the issues and reasonably comply with the requirements of Fed. R.

Civ. P. 28.   See Grant v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 524 (5th Cir.

1995).   As Lovell has not specifically addressed the district

court’s dismissal of her complaint as frivolous, she has

abandoned the only issue before this court.    Lovell’s appeal is

without arguable merit and is frivolous.     See Howard v. King, 707

F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983).   It is DISMISSED.   5th Cir. R.

42.2.

     Lovell has been cautioned that sanctions would be imposed if

she continued to file frivolous pleadings.     Lovell v. Hightower,

No. 98-31375 (5th Cir. Aug. 27, 1999)(unpublished).    Although we

could impose sanctions for this frivolous appeal, we choose to

again WARN Lovell that submission of any frivolous matter to this

court or any court subject to the jurisdiction of this court at

any time will subject her to sanctions.

     APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
