Ronald Emrit v. Continuum Legal

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 17-1230 RONALD SATISH EMRIT, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CONTINUUM LEGAL; CACI, INC.; UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY; CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA), Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior District Judge. (1:16-cv-01424-JCC-MSN) Submitted: April 25, 2017 Decided: April 28, 2017 Before MOTZ, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ronald Satish Emrit, Appellant Pro Se. Charles R. Claxton, PALEY, ROTHMAN, GOLDSTEIN, ROSENBERG & COOPER, CHARTERED, Bethesda, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Ronald Satish Emrit appeals the district court’s order dismissing his civil action for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Emrit’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Emrit 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 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 * Even assuming, without deciding, that the issues Emrit articulates in his notice of appeal are properly before us, we find no reversible error in the district court’s dispositive ruling on those bases. 2
