Michael Loiseau v. Houston Norris

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 11-7293 MICHAEL A. LOISEAU, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. HOUSTON NORRIS, Lieutenant, Shift Watcher, Rappahannock Regional Jail, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:10-cv-00870-REP) Submitted: February 9, 2012 Decided: February 14, 2012 Before WILKINSON, AGEE, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Angelo Loiseau, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael A. Loiseau appeals the district court’s order adopting the reasoning set forth in the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and dismissing Loiseau’s civil rights 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 Loiseau’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Loiseau has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
