U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2018-02-01

Relies on Williams v. Giant Food Inc. · Goode v. Central Virginia Legal Aid Society, Inc.

Decided 2018-02-01

¶1 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

¶2 Elvis Wayne Jones appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint without prejudice for improper venue. * On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Jones’ informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Jones 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 deny Jones’ “motion for justices to emergency” 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.

¶3 AFFIRMED

*

¶4 Because Jones cannot cure the defect identified by the district court by simply amending his complaint, the district court’s order is final and appealable. Goode v. Cent. Va. Legal Aid Soc’y, 807 F.3d 619, 623 (4th Cir. 2015).
