       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

                                   No. 15-30996

alia, possession with intent to distribute marihuana and cocaine base, appeals
the denial of his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).
The government moves for summary affirmance and, alternatively, for an
extension of time to file its brief.

      Because Parker does not meaningfully challenge the denial of the
§ 3582(c)(2) motion, he has abandoned the critical issue in the appeal. See
Brinkmann v. Dall. Cty. Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.
1987). The government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and
the judgment is AFFIRMED. The government’s alternative motion for an
extension of time to file its brief is DENIED as unnecessary.
