Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at
Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:19-cv-00152-LMB-MSN)


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

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Andre Stephen, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Andre Stephens appeals the district court’s order dismissing Stephen’s 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971).

On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th

Cir. R. 34(b). Because Stephen’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the

district court’s disposition, Stephen has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order.

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
