JAMES CRANGLE; TARA ROSE ALLEN ROONEY-CRANGLE, Petitioners - Appellants, v. EASTERN REGIONAL JAIL, Respondent - Appellee.
Appellants James Crangle and his wife, Tara Rose Allen Rooney-Crangle, appeal the district court's order dismissing their civil action for failure to comply with the court's prior order directing them to complete and submit court-approved forms. On appeal, 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 basis for the district court's disposition, Appellants forfeited appellate review of the court's order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, we affirm the district court's judgment. We deny the pending motions for a writ of certiorari and for an extraordinary writ. 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.
