Opinion

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 21-6190

MUSTAFA OZSUSAMLAR, Petitioner - Appellant, v. P. ADAMS, Warden, Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Wheeling. John Preston Bailey, District Judge. (5:20-cv-00099-JPB-JPM)

Submitted: October 14, 2021 Decided: October 18, 2021

Before DIAZ and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Mustafa Ozsusamlar, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Mustafa Ozsusamlar appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Ozsusamlar’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 deny Ozsusamlar’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
