Jimmy Allen ROBERTS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Frank L. PERRY, Secretary of Prisons, North Carolina Department of Public Safety; Lynn Ollis, Mailroom Supervisor, Mountain View Correctional Institute; FNU Grear, Corrections Officer, Mountain View Correctional Institute; Mike Slagle, Superintendent, Mountain View Correctional Institute, Defendants - Appellees.
Jimmy Allen Roberts appeals the district court's order granting Defendants summary judgment in Roberts’ civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000cc to 2000cc-5 (2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Roberts’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Roberts 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 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
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
