Peter O. AGBRO; Deidra R. Agbro, Plaintiffs - Appellants, v. AMERICAN PARTNERS BANK; Citimortgage, Inc.; U. S. Bank, N.A., trustee for securitized trust; Banc of America Funding 2006-6 Trust; Bank of America, N.A.; Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS); Does 1 Through 100 Inclusive, Defendants - Appellees.
Peter O. Agbro and Deidra R. Agbro appeal the district court's order dismissing their civil action for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because the Agbros’ informal brief does not challenge several dispositive bases for the district court's disposition, they have forfeited appellate review of those findings. 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, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE. We have reviewed the issues raised in the Agbros’ informal brief and discern no reversible error based on those claims.
