H. Leighton Laskey, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:

                  H. Leighton Laskey appeals the district court’s order

dismissing          his    civil     action         without       prejudice       pursuant       to

Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37 (1971).                                On appeal, we confine

our    review       to    the    issues    raised         in    the    appellant’s       informal

brief.       4th Cir. R. 34(b).                Laskey does not fairly argue that

Younger abstention is inappropriate in his case.                                    Rather, he

baldly       alleges       that    the    state          court    clerk      falsified        court

records in his state court action, that the action should have

been     dismissed         earlier       for    lack       of     prosecution,          and    that

Appellees are engaged in a conspiracy to deprive him of access

to the judicial system.                   These allegations are raised for the

first time on appeal, see Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250

(4th    Cir.       1993)    (declining         to    address       on    appeal    claims       not

presented to district court), and in any event, find no support

in    the    record.        Accordingly,            we    affirm      the   district      court’s

judgment.           Laskey v. Maryland, No. 1:14-cv-00853-WDQ (D. Md.

Apr. 21, 2014).                 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
