• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Adam L. Perry appeals the district court’s order granting Defendant’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) motion and dismissing his civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or, alternatively, failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted, denying his motion to strike, and denying as moot his motion to lift a stay of discovery. On appeal, we confíne our review to the issues raised in Perry’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Perry’s informal brief does not challenge with specific argument the district court’s rulings, Perry 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 grant Perry’s applications seeking leave to appeal in forma pauperis and 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
