UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 12-7856

SAMUEL BOYD,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

VICKI MONTGOMERY, Director/CEO; RONALD O. FORBES, MD, Medical Doctor,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr., District Judge. (3:12-cv-00349-JRS)

Submitted: January 17, 2013 Decided: January 23, 2013

Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Samuel Boyd, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Samuel Boyd appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2006)

complaint for failure to prosecute. ∗ See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

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

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

informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district

court’s disposition, Boyd 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

∗ The order is final and appealable as something more than an amendment to the complaint is needed to cure the defects in Boyd’s case. See Domino Sugar v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392,

10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67

(4th Cir. 1993).
