ROBERT W. JOHNSON,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
JAY VANNOY; DAVID B. FREEDMAN; TOM E. HORNE; LEIGH C.
BRICKER,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Frank D. Whitney,
Chief District Judge. (5:14-cv-00055-FDW)
Submitted: May 19, 2015 Decided: May 29, 2015
Before NIEMEYER, KING, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert W. Johnson, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert W. Johnson appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit as frivolous. We
previously dismissed this appeal as untimely. Johnson has now
filed a petition for panel rehearing. Upon review of the
petition, we grant panel rehearing and affirm.
On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in
the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because
Johnson’s informal briefs do not challenge the basis for the
district court’s disposition, Johnson has forfeited appellate
review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s judgment. We also deny Johnson’s motion for
appointment of counsel. 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
