Terry Garner v. Carteret County District Atty

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Terry Franklin Garner appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Garner’s informal brief does not sufficiently challenge the bases for the district court’s disposition, Garner 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, and we deny Garner’s motions to appoint counsel. 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
