UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 21-6160
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
GERALD THOMAS JOHNSON, a/k/a Geezy, a/k/a Gzy Tha Prince,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore.
James K. Bredar, Chief District Judge. (1:16-cr-00363-JKB-1)
Submitted: June 29, 2021 Decided: July 2, 2021
Before HARRIS, RICHARDSON, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Gerald Thomas Johnson, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Gerald Thomas Johnson, a federal detainee, appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion to reopen his detention hearing. On appeal, we confine our review to
the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Johnson’s informal
brief does not challenge the bases for the district court’s disposition, he 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 affirm the district
court’s order. 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
