UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-2288

ERIC EMANUEL TAYLOR,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

VIRGINIA IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Arenda Wright Allen, District Judge. (2:12-cv-00522-AWA-TEM)

Submitted: December 13, 2012 Decided: December 18, 2012

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Eric Emanuel Taylor, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Eric Emanuel Taylor appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice for failure to state a claim his

civil complaint against the Commonwealth of Virginia. On

appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the

Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Taylor does

not challenge in his informal brief the basis for the district

court’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the

court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before this court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED
