Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior
District Judge. (3:07-cv-00133-REP)
Submitted: March 27, 2008 Decided: April 1, 2008
Before TRAXLER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Arthur Lee Smith, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Arthur Lee Smith, Jr., appeals the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint
for failure to pay the initial partial filing fee. In his informal
appellate brief, Smith failed to address the district court’s basis
for dismissing his case. Therefore, Smith has waived appellate
review of that issue. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (“The Court will limit
its review to the issues raised in the informal brief.”).
Accordingly, we affirm. We deny as unnecessary Smith’s motion to
proceed in forma pauperis on appeal and dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
