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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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) complaint under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B) (2000).      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 counsel 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
