Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       Louis Charles Sheptin, federal inmate # 90355-024, appeals the

dismissal of his petition for habeas relief, filed pursuant to

   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opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under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.
district court dismissed Sheptin’s petition because he failed to

exhaust his administrative remedies.     Sheptin has waived the only

appellate issue by failing to brief it.   Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d

222, 224-25 (5th Cir. 1993); FED. R. APP. P. 28(a)(9)(A) and (B).

          Sheptin’s motion to supplement his brief is DENIED.   The

judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.    Sheptin’s motion for

the appointment of counsel is also DENIED.
