Lee White, PINTO, COATES, KYRE & BOWERS, PLLC, Greensboro, North
Carolina, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Steven N. Fulton appeals the district court’s May 28, 2015,
order denying his fourth postjudgment motion filed in his civil
case. * On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in
the appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Fulton’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Fulton 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
*
“[T]he timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case
is a jurisdictional requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S.
205, 214 (2007). Fulton’s notice of appeal does not identify
the order from which he is appealing; however, the May 28 order
is the only order to which Fulton’s notice of appeal is timely.
See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1), (4)(A). We have jurisdiction to
consider this appeal despite Fulton’s failure to follow the
technical requirements of Fed. R. App. P. 3(c). See Jackson v.
Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 175 (4th Cir. 2014); Hartsell v. Duplex
Prods., Inc., 123 F.3d 766, 771 (4th Cir. 1997).
