No. 09-50810 Summary Calendar.

June 7, 2010.

Joseph H. Gay, Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney's Office, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Wayne Frost, Midland, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, USDC No. 7:09-CR-23-1.

Before JOLLY, WIENER, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:[fn*] [fn*] Pursuant to 5TH CIR R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR R. 47.5.4.

Dionne Ward pleaded guilty to prescription fraud and was sentenced to 13 months of imprisonment and one year of supervised release.

Ward asserts in her attorney-prepared brief that her trial counsel was ineffective, that she should have received a lower sentence, and that her due process rights were violated. However, she does not provide any facts or arguments in support of these assertions. Because she has not briefed these issues, she has abandoned them. See Hughes v. Johnson, 191 F.3d 607, 612-13 (5th Cir. 1999); Beasley v. McCotter, 798 F.2d 116, 118 (5th Cir. 1986).

AFFIRMED.
