Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Asheville. Frank D. Whitney, Chief District Judge. (1:16-cv-00274-FDW)

Submitted: November 22, 2016 Decided: November 28, 2016

Before DIAZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Anthony Sorbello, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Michael Anthony Sorbello appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his

(2012) complaint. On appeal, we

confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s

brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Sorbello’s informal

brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s

disposition, Sorbello has waived appellate review of the court’s

order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc.,

, 430 n.4

(4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we deny Sorbello’s motion for

appointment of counsel and affirm the district court’s order.

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
