Carolyn Ford v. James Rohr

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 15-2356 CAROLYN W. FORD; JOSEPH FORD, SR.; RANDY C. FORD, Plaintiffs - Appellants, v. JAMES F. ROHR; WILLIAM S. DEMCHAK, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Richard D. Bennett, District Judge. (1:14-cv-03158-RDB) Submitted: March 29, 2016 Decided: March 31, 2016 Before GREGORY and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Carolyn W. Ford, Joseph Ford, Sr., Randy C. Ford, Appellants Pro Se. Jessica Hepburn Sadler, John Darren Sadler, Daniel J. Tobin, BALLARD SPAHR, LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Carolyn W. Ford, Joseph Ford, Sr., and Randy C. Ford (Appellants) appeal the district court’s order dismissing with prejudice their civil action for failure to properly serve Defendants, for lack of personal jurisdiction, and for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellants’ brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Appellants’ informal brief does not challenge any aspect of the district court’s disposition, Appellants have forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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 2
