                           FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT


                                       No. 19-6117


MICHAEL EUGENE HUNT,

                     Plaintiff - Appellant,

              v.

JENNIFER J. KNOX, Wake County Trial Court Administrator,

                     Defendant - Appellee.



Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at
Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (5:18-ct-03135-FL)


Submitted: May 23, 2019                                           Decided: May 29, 2019


Before KING and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.


Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Michael Eugene Hunt, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Michael Eugene Hunt appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (2012). On appeal, we confine

our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because

the informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Hunt

has forfeited appellate review of the dismissal of his complaint. * See Jackson v. Lightsey,

775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal brief is an important document; under

Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues preserved in that brief.”).

Accordingly, we 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




       *
         We discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of Hunt’s motion
for appointment of counsel. See Beaudett v. City of Hampton, 775 F.2d 1274, 1277 n.5
(4th Cir. 1985) (providing standard).
