No. 03-7956

TAVON DIXON,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

versus

THE BALTIMORE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT; UNIDENTIFIED POLICE OFFICERS; U.S. DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CA-03-1984-AW)

Submitted: February 12, 2004 Decided: February 23, 2004

Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tavon Dixon, Appellant Pro Se. Howard Benjamin Hoffman, BALTIMORE POLICE DEPARTMENT, Baltimore, Maryland; John Walter Sippel, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Tavon Dixon seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his

(2000) action. In the

briefing order, Dixon was warned that this court would not consider

issues not specifically raised in his informal brief. See 4th Cir.

R. 34(b). Nonetheless, Dixon failed to raise any challenges to the

district court’s order in his informal brief and thus has failed to

preserve any issues for our review. Accordingly, we are

constrained to affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Dixon v. Baltimore City Police Dep’t, No. CA-03-1984-AW (D. Md.

Oct. 14, 2003). We dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
