Josephat Mua v. Attorney General, Maryland

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 16-1503 JOSEPHAT MUA, Plaintiff – Appellant, v. THE MARYLAND OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL; THE MARYLAND STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION; PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MARYLAND; HON. NANCY K. KOPP, State Treasurer, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, Senior District Judge. (8:14-cv-02070-PJM) Submitted: September 13, 2016 Decided: September 16, 2016 Before TRAXLER, AGEE, and THACKER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Josephat Mua, Appellant Pro Se. William H. Fields, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland; William Antoine Snoddy, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Upper Marlboro, Maryland; Elizabeth Lynn Adams, MARYLAND NATIONAL CAPITAL PARK & PLANNING COMMISSION, Riverdale, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Josephat Mua appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil complaint against several Defendants. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Mua’s informal briefs do not challenge the bases for the district court’s disposition, Mua has forfeited appellate review of the district court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order of dismissal. Mua v. Attorney Gen., Md., No. 8:14-cv- 02070-PJM (D. Md. Mar. 31, 2016). 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
