Opinion

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 21-7251

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. SEAN LAMONT DUDLEY, a/k/a John D. Brown, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Kenneth D. Bell, District Judge. (5:97-cr-00001-KDB-1)

Submitted: January 20, 2022 Decided: January 25, 2022

Before WILKINSON, DIAZ, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Sean Lamont Dudley, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Sean Lamont Dudley appeals the district court’s order denying Dudley’s motion challenging the conditions of his confinement under 18 U.S.C. § 4042(a)(2). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

Because Dudley’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 order. 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
