MCCLARY v. LIGHTSEY (2019)

Ronald McClary appeals the district court's orders and judgment dismissing his civil rights complaint. We dismiss in part and affirm in part.

The district court dismissed McClary's claims against Dr. Lightsey based on res judicata and McClary's failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. On appeal, McClary does not challenge those findings in his informal brief. Accordingly, because our review is limited to issues raised in the informal brief, we will dismiss the appeal in part. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (stating that “our review is limited to issues preserved in [the informal] brief.”).

We have reviewed the district court's order granting summary judgment to the remaining defendants and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm in part for the reasons stated by the district court. McClary v. Lightsey, No. 5:16-ct-03052-BO (E.D.N.C. June 20, 2018; June 18, 2019). 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.
