USCA4 Appeal: 24-1061 Doc: 13 Filed: 06/27/2024 Pg: 3 of 3

PER CURIAM: Wallace Wormack, Lakeisha Jones, and Carolyn Marshall (collectively, “Appellants”) appeal the district court’s order granting Defendant’s (a) motion in limine to preclude their expert witness testimony; and (b) motion for summary judgment in Appellants’ removed civil action alleging negligence/premises liability claims arising under Maryland law. We confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Appellants’ informal brief does not challenge the district court’s rationale for granting the motion in limine, they have forfeited appellate review of this portion 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.”). As to the grant of summary judgment, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Wormack v. Caesars Balt. Mgmt. Co., LLC, No. 1:22-cv-01108-SAG (D. Md. Jan.

2, 2024).

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
