RONNIE CLARKE v. CITY OF PETERSBURG HOWARD MYERS WILLIAM JOHNSON LORRAINE ADEEB BRIAN TELFAIR (2017)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

RONNIE CLARKE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CITY OF PETERSBURG; W. HOWARD MYERS, Mayor of the City of Petersburg; WILLIAM JOHNSON, City Manager; LORRAINE ADEEB, Human Resources Director for City; BRIAN TELFAIR, City Attorney for the City, Defendants - Appellees.

No. 17-1530

Decided: August 28, 2017

Before SHEDD and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.*

Ronnie Clarke, Appellant Pro Se.

Ronnie Clarke appeals the district court's order dismissing, after a review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (2012), Clarke's complaint alleging Defendants retaliated against him in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17 (2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Clarke's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Clarke has 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, 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.
