Mua v. Board of Education of Prince George's County

Opinion of the Court

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Josephat Mua appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint raising several civil claims against Defendants. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Mua’s informal brief does not challenge the bases for the district court’s disposition, Mua has forfeited appellate review of the district court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we deny Mua’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the district court’s order of dismissal. See Mua v. Bd. of Educ. of Prince George’s Cty., No. 8:15-cv-02249-PJM, 2016 WL 1258469 (D. Md. Mar. 31, 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.

AFFIRMED
