Walling v. State Accident Fund

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Riddick Walling, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012). On appeal, we con-fíne our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Walling’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Walling has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (noting court’s review is limited to issues preserved in informal brief); Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004) (deeming abandoned issue not raised in brief). We also find that this appeal is frivolous. Accordingly, we deny all outstanding motions, and we dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Walling v. The State Accident Fund, No. 2:15-cv-04448-DCN (D.S.C. Feb. 29, 2016). 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.

DISMISSED
