Reniece L.W. Kabando, Appellant Pro Se. Rebecca Sara Levenson, Assistant United
States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Reniece L.W. Kabando appeals from the district court’s January 24, 2017, order
denying her motion for an expedited hearing and self-styled “Motion for Exparte” and
May 31, 2017, order dismissing her amended complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)
(2012) and denying leave to amend that complaint. On appeal, we confine our review to
the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Kabando’s
informal brief * does not present specific arguments challenging the bases for the district
court’s dispositions, Kabando has forfeited appellate review of the court’s orders.
See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s orders. 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
*
Kabando states in her informal brief that she needs assigned counsel. To the
extent that Kabando is requesting the appointment or assignment of counsel on appeal,
that request is denied.
