HOWARD v. MCCREADY MD MD (2018)

In these consolidated cases, Redmond Howard appeals the district court's order dismissing his second amended civil complaint for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Howard's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Howard 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 judgment. We deny as unnecessary both Howard's motion to file supplemental materials and Appellees’ motion to strike the proposed supplemental materials. 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
