Edward Reese v. Jeanine Slater

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 15-6098 EDWARD REESE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. JEANINE SLATER; DR. MATTIOLI; MS. LARKEN, Defendants – Appellees, and KIERAN J. SHANAHAN; REUBEN YOUNG; W. DAVID GUICE; GEORGE T. SOLOMON; CARL JOYNER; CYNTHIA THORNTON; FRANK PERRY, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:13-ct-03126-BO) Submitted: March 17, 2015 Decided: March 20, 2015 Before WILKINSON and KING, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Edward Reese, Appellant Pro Se. Kimberly D. Grande, NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Raleigh, North Carolina; Nathan Douglas Childs, Elizabeth Pharr McCullough, YOUNG MOORE & HENDERSON, PA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Edward Reese appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) civil rights action for failure to exhaust his available administrative remedies. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Reese’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Reese 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 3
