John Stritzinger v. Upland Police Department

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

John S. Stritzinger appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing his complaint for failing to comply with a court order. On appeal, we confíne our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Stritzinger’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Stritzinger 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, although we grant Stritzinger leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
