UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 19-7493

NATHAN E. JACOBS,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

MRS. SHELLY CARR, Case Manager,

Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Elkins. John Preston Bailey, District Judge. (2:16-cv-00001-JPB-JPM)

Submitted: December 19, 2019 Decided: December 23, 2019

Before NIEMEYER, AGEE, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Nathan E. Jacobs, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Nathan E. Jacobs appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint filed

pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics,

(1971). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s briefs.

See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Jacobs’ informal briefs do not challenge the basis for the

district court’s disposition, Jacobs 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 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
