William Douglas Hampton, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
William Douglas Hampton, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his declaratory judgment action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2012) for failure to
state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s
brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hampton’s informal brief does not challenge the
basis for the district court’s disposition, Hampton has forfeited appellate review of the
court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004).
Accordingly, we deny Hampton’s motion for declaratory judgment and 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 this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
