Opinion

Mack Foreman, Jr., a state prisoner, appeals pro se the sua sponte dismissal of his amended complaint against state officials for injuries he allegedly suffered after falling off a recycling truck during work release. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. “[W]e read briefs filed by pro se litigants liberally,” but because Foreman does not mention, much less dispute, the ruling that his claims against the officials failed to state a claim for relief, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), we deem abandoned any argument he could have made challenging the dismissal of his complaint on that ground. See Timson v. Sampson, 518 F.3d 870, 874 (11th Cir. 2008). Foreman also moves for the appointment of appellate counsel and for discovery, but we do not order discovery and Foreman has no need of counsel on appeal. We affirm the dismissal of Foremans amended complaint and deny his motions as moot.

AFFIRMED; MOTIONS DENIED.
