PER CURIAM: Edward Smith (“Smith”), a resident of Oakland Manor Nursing Home, filed a pro se suit against the nursing home and a number of employees of the nursing home for substandard care. The district court gave the pro se plaintiff’s petition a liberal
interpretation and considered whether he had stated a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and any of the anti-discrimination statutes and concluded that he had not. The district court concluded that the complaint sought recovery from non-government entities and that he had not stated a cause of action under § 1983. The district court also found no plausible discrimination claim alleged under the various anti-discrimination statutes. Finding that he had stated no federal claim, the district court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state claims.
On appeal, Smith simply repeats his earlier arguments about how he was mistreated in the nursing home. He makes no legal argument expressing how the district court erred in dismissing his claims. Smith has offered no substantive argument or analysis as to how the district court erred. A “naked assertion that the district court erred,” is not enough to form an appeal that can be entertained by this court. Frazier v. Garrison I.S.D., 980 F.2d 1514, 1528 (5th Cir.1993) (“For an appellate court to perform its role requires at least a minimal reasoned attack.”). See also American States Ins. Co. v.
Bailey, 133 F.3d 363, 372 (5th Cir.1998) (“Failure to provide any legal or factual analysis of an issue results in waiver”); Brinkmann v. Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.1987). As such, Smith has raised no issue that can be noticed or entertained by this court on appeal. Accordingly, for the reasons stated above, we affirm the decision of the district court. AFFIRM. Pursuant to 5th Cut R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cut. R. 47.5.4.
