Maryland, at Greenbelt. Roger W. Titus, District Judge. (8:07-cv-
02627-RWT)
Submitted: April 24, 2008 Decided: April 30, 2008
Before KING and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Edson Furtado, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Edson Furtado appeals the district court’s order
dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action
seeking damages for issues pertaining to his confinement in a
psychiatric hospital. In his informal appellate brief, Furtado
fails to address the district court’s basis for dismissing his
case. Therefore, Furtado has waived appellate review of that
issue. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (“The Court will limit its review to
the issues raised in the informal brief.”). Accordingly, we deny
Furtado’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
