Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at
Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:18-cv-00293-RAJ-LRL)
Submitted: April 25, 2019 Decided: April 30, 2019
Before FLOYD and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Susan Neal Matousek, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Susan Neal Matousek appeals the district court’s order dismissing her second
amended complaint for failure to state a claim and for failure to effect timely service.
On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th
Cir. R. 34(b). Because Matousek’s informal brief does not challenge the bases for the
district court’s disposition, Matousek has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order.
See Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brief is an
important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved
in that brief.”). Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the
district court’s judgment. We deny Matousek’s motion for an en banc hearing in May
2019 and 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
