UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 21-6696
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
TOMMY ADAMS, JR.,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence.
R. Bryan Harwell, Chief District Judge. (4:18-cr-00520-RBH-1)
Submitted: February 17, 2022 Decided: February 22, 2022
Before AGEE and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Tommy Adams, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Tommy Adams, Jr., appeals the district court’s text order denying his second motion
for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), denying his motion for
reconsideration of the denial of his first compassionate release motion, and denying his
motion to appoint counsel. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the
informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Adams’ informal brief does not challenge
the bases for the district court’s dispositions, he has forfeited appellate review of the district
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
