Michael Greene v. William Sadler

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 16-7087 MICHAEL J. GREENE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. WILLIAM J. SADLER; GEORGE V. SITLER; WILLIAM O. (BILL) HUFFMAN; SCOTT A. ASH, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Bluefield. David A. Faber, Senior District Judge. (1:15-cv-15723) Submitted: December 30, 2016 Decided: January 18, 2017 Before MOTZ, KING, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael J. Greene, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael J. Greene appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing Greene’s complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Greene’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Greene has forfeited appellate review of the 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 judgment. We deny Greene’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 2
