UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 20-1555

L. RUTHER, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. LEW’S AUTO SERVICE & SALVAGE, LLC, Defendant - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr., District Judge. (3:20-cv-00279-JAG)

Submitted: July 23, 2020 Decided: July 27, 2020

Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

L. Ruther, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: L. Ruther appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (2018) and for failing to comply with the court’s order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ruther’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, he has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (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
