Calvin Gaddy v. Captain DeGeorgis

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 15-6660 CALVIN LYNDALE GADDY, a/k/a Calvin L. Gaddy, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CAPTAIN DEGEORGIS, Defendant – Appellee, and NIKKI R. HALEY, South Carolina Governor; BILL BYERS, SCDC Commissioner; WARDEN LARRY CARTLEDGE, Perry CI; FLORENCE MAUNEY, Perry CI, SMU; MAJOR EARLY, Perry CI, SMU, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Anderson. Bruce H. Hendricks, District Judge. (8:13-cv-01586-BHH) Submitted: September 29, 2015 Decided: October 2, 2015 Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Calvin Lyndale Gaddy, Appellant Pro Se. James Victor McDade, DOYLE, O’ROURKE, TATE & MCDADE, PA, Anderson, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Calvin Lyndale Gaddy appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Gaddy’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Gaddy has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. We deny Gaddy’s motion to appoint 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 3
