R. 47.5.4. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-10781 Summary Calendar TOMMY ALAN SEDAM, SR., Plaintiff-Appellant, versus AIR TEMP REFRIGERATION; BROWNWOOD ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT; EDWARD RASPILLER; Texas State Technical College, former Dean; CLAY G. JOHNSON, PhD, Former President; BROWNWOOD CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT; WAYLON PATERSON, Owner Air Temp Refrigeration; CITY OF BROWNWOOD; JAMES R CAMPBELL, Director Brownwood Economical Development Co.; BRUCE SPRUILL, Officer, Defendants-Appellees. TOMMY ALAN SEDAM, SR., Plaintiff-Appellant, versus TEXAS STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE, Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No.6:00-CV-97-C USDC No. 6:00-CV-98-C March 12, 2002 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * The motion of Tommy Alan Sedam, Sr., for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) is DENIED. The motion of appellees Texas State Technical College, Edward Raspiller, and Clay G. Johnson for dismissal of SedamÂ’s appeal as it relates to them is GRANTED.
We lack jurisdiction over SedamÂ’s appeal as to those three appellees and as to the City of Brownwood, Brownwood Economical Development, the Brownwood City Police Department, James Campbell, and Officer Bruce Spurill. Sedam failed to file timely notices of appeal following the judgments entering final judgment as to those appellees. See Kelly v. LeeÂ’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, Inc. , 908 F.2d 1218, 1220 (5th Cir. 1990)(en banc); F ED . R. C IV . P. 54(b). A timely notice of appeal is a prerequisite for the exercise of jurisdiction by this court.
United States v. Carr , 979 F.2d 51, 55 (5th Cir. 1992).
We also lack jurisdiction to address whether the magistrate judge erred by transferring SedamÂ’s district-court cases to the Northern District of Texas. Sedam did not appeal the magistrate judgeÂ’s orders to the district court. Trufant v. Autocon, Inc. , 729 F.2d 308, 309 (5th Cir. 1984).
Sedam does not brief whether he served Air Temp Refrigeration and Waylon Peterson properly in the district court.
The district court first denied SedamÂ’s requests for a default and a default judgment, then dismissed SedamÂ’s claims without prejudice for failure to serve Air Temp and Peterson properly.
Sedam has failed to brief the sole relevant issue for appeal.
Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner , 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir. 1987).
