Michelle Riddick v. Kaiser Permanente

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Michelle Riddick appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint without prejudice for failure to effectuate service. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). On appeal, we confíne our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Riddick’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Riddick has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. 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
