    United States Court of Appeals, • Fifth Circuit.

    William Stephens, Amarillo, TX, pro se.
    Shelley Nieto Dahlberg, Office of the Attorney General for the State of Texas, G. Robert Sonnier, Clark, Thomas & Winters, Austin, TX, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

William Stephens appeals the dismissal of his lawsuit alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. § 1962, by DaimlerChrysler Corporation (Chrysler) and Chrysler employee Jurgen Schrempp, as well as Texas Tech University and several of its employees (collectively referred to as the Texas Tech defendants). He contends that the district court judge was biased, that Schrempp has perjured himself, that the Texas Tech defendants are not entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity, and that his RICO claims were not time-barred.

However, Stephens does not brief any argument challenging the district court’s alternative grounds for dismissing the lawsuit against each of the defendants, specifically, that he failed to state a legally cognizable RICO claim against the Texas Tech defendants, that the claims against Chrysler were barred by res judicata, or that the court lacked personal jurisdiction over Schrempp. He has thus waived any challenge to the district court’s alternate bases for dismissal. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th Cir.1993); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.1987). Stephens’s conclusional assertion that these grounds for dismissal were error, raised for the first time in his reply brief, will not be considered. See United States v. Prince, 868 F.2d 1379, 1386 (5th Cir. 1989).

The district court’s judgment is affirmed. Chrysler and Schrempp’s motion to strike exhibits attached to Stephens’s reply brief, which are not part of the record on appeal, is granted.

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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
