Opinion

UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-7403

RODNEY L. GOODMAN,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

HAROLD CLARKE, Director of Virginia Department of Corrections,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Mark S. Davis, District Judge. (2:15-cv-00158-MSD-DEM)

Submitted: February 25, 2016 Decided: March 1, 2016

Before SHEDD and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rodney Goodman, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Rodney L. Goodman appeals the district court’s order

dismissing without prejudice his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2012) action

for failure to comply with the court’s prior order directing him

to either pay the filing fee or execute a consent form to

authorize installment payments. On appeal, we confine our

review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th

Cir. R. 34(b). Because Goodman’s informal brief does not

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition,

Goodman 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
