                  Appeals from the United States District Court
                      for the Eastern District of Louisiana
                             USDC No. 2:13-CV-6800


Before DAVIS, JONES, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Charles E. Marsala appeals the district court’s final judgment of
dismissal. We conclude that Marsala has abandoned all his claims by failing
to brief them adequately. See Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff
Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987). Although his briefs are afforded
liberal construction, Marsala is required to brief arguments in order to
preserve them. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993).
Additionally, Marsala’s motions to supplement the record are DENIED; the
proffered legal materials constitute briefing beyond the briefing cut-off date,
and the proffered exhibits either duplicate documents already in the record or
would improperly expand the record that was before the district court. See
Theriot v. Parish of Jefferson, 185 F.3d 477, 491 n.26 (5th Cir. 1999).
       AFFIRMED.




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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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