Susan Matousek v. USA Fort Story Comm. Officer

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 18-2199 SUSAN MATOUSEK, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. USA FORT STORY COMMANDING OFFICER, ET AL, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:18-cv-00457-RAJ-LRL) Submitted: April 12, 2019 Decided: May 14, 2019 Before DIAZ and RICHARDSON, 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 Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. 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 briefs and additional documents filed on appeal do not challenge the basis 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 deny Matousek’s petition for initial hearing en banc and 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
