Adrian Bacon v. Randall Mathena

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 15-6680 ADRIAN NATHANIEL BACON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. RANDALL C. MATHENA; MAJOR GALLIHAR; FLETCHER, Q.M.H.P.; JONES, Q.M.H.P.; HUFF, Q.M.H.P.; WRIGHT, Q.M.H.P.; ADAMS, Q.M.H.P.; LT. STANLEY; CAPT. BLEVINS; SGT. BOYD; SGT. MILLER; C/O HOWARD; C/O STURGILL; C/O GILBERT, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. James P. Jones, District Judge. (7:15-cv-00089-JPJ-RSB) Submitted: July 23, 2015 Decided: July 28, 2015 Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Adrian Nathaniel Bacon, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Adrian Nathaniel Bacon appeals the district court’s order dismissing, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2012), his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) suit. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Bacon’s informal brief does not challenge the district court’s conclusion that his suit must be dismissed as malicious, Bacon has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we deny Bacon’s motion to appoint counsel and dismiss 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. DISMISSED 2
