Submitted: January 18, 2011 Decided: January 28, 2011

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Allen Lee Davis, Appellant Pro Se. James Dean Jolly, Jr.,
LOGAN, JOLLY & SMITH, LLP, Anderson, South Carolina, for
Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

Allen Lee Davis appeals the district court’s amended

order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint. On

appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the

Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Davis challenges

only the propriety of the redaction of certain information from

summary judgment material submitted by Defendants Gray and

Peppers. Davis’s argument is irrelevant to whether the district

court correctly applied Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994),

to his claims of illegal search and seizure. Moreover, Davis’s

arguments on appeal do not relate to his claims against

Defendant Harris. Thus, Davis has forfeited appellate review of

the district court’s order by failing to challenge the basis for

the district court’s disposition. Accordingly, we affirm the

judgment of the district court.

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
