x999-1" type="majority"> PER CURIAM. *

Appellants appeal from the dismissal of myriad discrimination claims. We find no merit in Appellants’ claims. Appellants assert a plethora of conclusional statements claiming shortcomings on the part of the district court and misdeeds by the appellees. The conclusory assertions are neither supported by the evidence nor by any argument. Because the briefs are inadequate, do not cite authority and consist of conclusory assertions, appellants have presented nothing for review. See Nichols v. Scott, 69 F.3d 1255, 1287 n. 67 (5th Cir.1995); See Fed.R.App.P. 28(a)(4). Even pro se appellants have a duty to abide by the briefing rules so as to inform the appellate court of the particular claims raised. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.1993) (even parties proceeding pro se must brief an issue in order to preserve it for appeal). Here, Appellants fall woefully short.

In any event, out of an abundance of caution we have reviewed the record, including the pleadings and the summary judgment evidence and find no error. The judgment is in all things affirmed and the motion for sanctions denied and all other relief requested by Appellants is denied.

AFFIRMED. DENIED.

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
