DAVIS v. UNIVERSAL AMERICAN MORTGAGE COMPANY LLC LLC USA ACE ACE 2007 ASAP2 (2018)

Marcus Davis appeals the district court's order dismissing his complaint challenging a completed judicial foreclosure. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Davis’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Davis 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.”); see also Brown v. Nucor Corp., 785 F.3d 895, 918 (4th Cir. 2015) (“Failure of a party in its opening brief to challenge an alternate ground for a district court's ruling waives that challenge.” (alteration and internal quotation marks omitted) ). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. 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.
