Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 21-7104 Doc: 9 Filed: 12/27/2021 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Bobby E. Shockley appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s motion

for summary judgment with respect to Shockley’s

complaint. On appeal,

we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

Because Shockley’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,

(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
