additional funds to make repairs to a distressed property in order to make it marketable. 25 . There are no details on this loan in the record other than the borrower’s name and the amount. 26 . Simms filed a motion to strike that portion of First Gibraltar's appeal concerning the district court's April 18 order. This court carried Simms’ motion with the case in an order dated July 22, 1994. First Gibraltar has abandoned any issue or argument in this appeal concerning the district court’s April 18 order because it did not argue any error with respect to this order in its briefs before this court. See Fed.R.App.P. 28(a)(5) (“The argument must contain the contentions of the appellant on the issues presented, and the reasons therefor’’); Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 225 (5th Cir.1993) (<HOLDING>). We therefore dismiss Simms’ motion to strike
