Maress Brown v. Rick Minichbauer

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 14-1432 MARESS BROWN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. RICK MINICHBAUER, Human Resource Manager, K-Mart Distribution Center; MATT HENRY, Supervisor, K-Mart Distribution Center, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. James A. Beaty, Jr., Senior District Judge. (1:13-cv-00474-JAB-JEP) Submitted: November 20, 2014 Decided: November 24, 2014 Before KING and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Maress Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Douglas Dellinger, Molly Mitchell Shah, LITTLER MENDELSON PC, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Maress Brown appeals the district court’s order dismissing his Title VII employment discrimination action because Brown did not (a) name a proper “employer,” as that term is defined in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e(b) (2012); and (b) administratively exhaust his claims as to the two named Defendants. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Brown’s informal brief does not challenge either basis for the district court’s disposition, Brown has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. 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 2
