United States v. Susanne Helbig
United States v. Susanne Helbig
Opinion
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit..
Susanne Helbig seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her 28 U.S.C. *749 § 2255 (2012) motion. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Helbi^s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Helbig 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). Accordingly, we deny Helbig’s motions for a transcript at government expense and to supplement her informal brief, deny a certificate of appeal-ability, 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.
