Submitted: December 20, 2018 Decided: December 27, 2018

Before DIAZ and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Daniel Eric Cobble, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Daniel Eric Cobble appeals the district court’s order dismissing his

(2012) petition. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the

Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Cobble’s informal brief does not

challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Cobble has forfeited appellate

review of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey,

(4th Cir. 2014)

(“The informal brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is

limited to issues preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

judgment. We deny Cobble’s motion for reconsideration of our order substituting a

party. 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
