PER CURIAM: Vallire Ozene, Lyndon Granger, and Latoya Jernigan (Appellants) sued the Texas Department of Family Protective Services (TDFPS) and several TDFPS officials (collectively the State Defendants), and other individuals unaffiliated with the state of Texas. The case appears to stem from a dispute over the custody of two minor children, S.J. and T.J. Both children were subject to writs of attachment in Texas state court naming the TDFPS as their temporary managing conservator.

The Appellants claimed in their lawsuit that the various defendants conspired to fabricate false allegations against the Appellants in order to terminate the Appellants’ custodial rights over S.J. and T.J. The complaint included allegations that the defendants violated the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments, and sought relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Appellants requested damages in the amount of $100 million, as well as the possession of S.J. and T.J.

The State Defendants moved for dismissal of the Appellants’ suit, and the district court dismissed the case, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1), after it determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Specifically, the district court concluded that the Appellants’ suit was an attempt to modify the terms of state-court child custody orders, and that both the Rooker-Feld man doctrine and the domestic relations exception to federal jurisdiction applied to limit the court’s jurisdiction. The Appellants, proceeding pro se, now appeal.

We consider at the outset whether the Appellants have abandoned all issues on appeal.

The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure require that an appellant’s brief contain “appellant’s contentions and the reasons for them, with citations to the authorities and parts of the record on which the appellant relies.” “Failure adequately to brief an issue on appeal constitutes waiver of that argument.” Moreover, “[although pro se briefs are to be liberally construed, pro se litigants have no general immunity from the rule that issues and arguments not briefed on appeal are abandoned.” In their brief, the Appellants simply provide a list of the rights that they claim have been violated in their case, as well as a list of citations to cases addressing whether qualified immunity is available for state officials who commit constitutional violations when removing children from the custody of their parents.

The district court did not dismiss the Appellants’ suit on qualified immunity grounds, however, and the Appellants utterly fail to address the district court’s decision to apply the Rooker-Felchnan doctrine and the domestic relations exception to this case. Because the Appellants point to no specific error in the district court’s order, we hold that the Appellants have abandoned all issues on appeal. AFFIRMED. 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. . See D.C.
