COBBLE v. ATKINSON US US NC (2018)

Daniel Eric Cobble appeals the district court's order dismissing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Cobble's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Cobble 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.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. We deny Cobble's motion for reconsideration of our order substituting a party. 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.
