Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________


PER CURIAM.


     Tony Alamo appeals the district court's order dismissing Alamo's
bankruptcy action for failure to prosecute.           Alamo's appeal must be
dismissed because Alamo has not advanced any argument in his brief about
the district court's underlying ruling.    See Fed. R. App. P. 28; Slack v.
St. Louis County Government, 919 F.2d 98, 99-100 (8th Cir. 1990) (per
curiam); Jasperson v. Purolator Courier Corp., 765 F.2d 736, 740-41 (8th
Cir. 1985).    We thus dismiss Alamo's appeal.   See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
