¶1 Guadalupe Guajardo, Jr., Texas prisoner number 170864, appeals from the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Guajardo argues that the prison grievance system is inadequate because it does not permit challenges such as his to state-wide policies. We find no error in the district court’s dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. See Porter v. Nussle, 534 U.S. 516, 532, 122 S.Ct. 983, 152 L.Ed.2d 12 (2002); Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 741 n. 6, 121 S.Ct. 1819, 149 L.Ed.2d 958 (2001); 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a).
¶2 Guajardo also argues that the district court erroneously denied his motion for class action status under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23. By failing to brief how the district court erred or how he met the requirements of Rule 23, Guajardo has abandoned this issue on appeal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.1993); see also Fed. R.App. P. 28(a)(9).
¶3 Guajardo also argues that the district court erroneously denied his request for appointment of counsel. We find no abuse of discretion. See Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691 F.2d 209, 212-13 (5th Cir.1982).
¶4 AFFIRMED.
