Simmons v. Cumberland County Municipality

Opinion of the Court

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Laquan Lorenzo Simmons appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights action on 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012) review. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Simmons’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Simmons 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 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
