UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 12-7856
SAMUEL BOYD,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
VICKI MONTGOMERY, Director/CEO; RONALD O. FORBES, MD,
Medical Doctor,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Richmond. John A. Gibney, Jr.,
District Judge. (3:12-cv-00349-JRS)
Submitted: January 17, 2013 Decided: January 23, 2013
Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Samuel Boyd, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Samuel Boyd appeals the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006)
complaint for failure to prosecute. ∗ See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Boyd’s
informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district
court’s disposition, Boyd 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
∗
The order is final and appealable as something more than
an amendment to the complaint is needed to cure the defects in
Boyd’s case. See Domino Sugar v. Sugar Workers Local Union 392,
10 F.3d 1064, 1066-67 (4th Cir. 1993).
