No. 20-7098

Decided: November 24, 2020

Before WILKINSON, KING, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges.

Kevin Herriott, Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Lindemann, LINDEMANN, DAVIS & HUGHES, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Kevin Herriott appeals the district court's order accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation and granting summary judgment to Defendants on Herriott's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Herriott's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Herriott 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.”). In addition, we reject Herriott's contention that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction.

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.
