Alina Rojea v. Brian Cregger

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-1427 ALINA ROJEA, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. BRIAN CREGGER, Technical Manager; SANDI SMITH, Corporate HR Generalist; KAY DSOUZA VENKATRAJAN, Application Developer; USI INSURANCE SERVICES, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Robert J. Conrad, Jr., District Judge. (3:19-cv-00619-RJC-DCK) Submitted: September 14, 2021 Decided: September 17, 2021 Before THACKER and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Alina Rojea, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Douglas Dellinger, LITTLER MENDELSON PC, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Alina Rojea appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s recommendation to grant Defendants’ motion to dismiss Rojea’s claims brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e to 2000e-17, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Rojea’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, she 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 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
