Bond v. Social Security Administration

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Pamela Sue Bond appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying Bond’s self-styled “Motion to Initiate Discovery by the Court.” On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because neither Bond’s informal brief nor the supplement thereto challenges the basis for the magistrate judge’s disposition on this post-judgment motion, Bond has forfeited appellate review of the order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm the magistrate judge’s order. We deny Bond’s motion for clarification of the Social Security Administration’s theory of defense. 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
