Williams v. Holley

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit October 24, 2014

Williams v. Holley, 585 F. App'x 108 (4th Cir. 2014)

Opinion of the Court

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Robert Williams appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice.* On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Williams’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Williams 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.

We conclude that the district court’s order is final and appealable as no amendment to the complaint could cure the defects identified by the district court. See Domino Sugar Corp. v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392, 10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).
