FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-6193
EDSON FURTADO,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
RONALD GOTTLIEB, Assistant Public Defender,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Greenbelt. Roger W. Titus, District Judge. (8:07-cv-
02951-RWT)
Submitted: March 27, 2008 Decided: April 4, 2008
Before TRAXLER and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, 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Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action on the ground that
his complaint failed to allege a cognizable claim under § 1983. In
his informal appellate brief, Furtado failed 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 affirm. Furtado’s motion for
appointment of cousel is denied. 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
