Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior
District Judge. (3:16-cv-00216-REP)
Submitted: January 31, 2017 Decided: February 2, 2017
Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ronald E. Hawkins, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Richard Earl Hill,
Jr., CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Richmond, Virginia; DONALD ELDRIDGE
JEFFREY, III, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia,
for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ronald E. Hawkins, Sr., appeals the district court’s orders
granting Defendants’ motions to dismiss Hawkins’ 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012) complaint, and denying Hawkins’ motion for leave
to amend his complaint. On appeal, we confine our review to the
issues raised in the Appellant’s informal brief. See 4th Cir.
R. 34(b). Because Hawkins’ informal brief does not challenge
the bases for the district court’s disposition, Hawkins has
forfeited appellate review of the district court’s orders. See
Williams v. Giant Food Inc.,
370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir.
2004). We thus affirm the district court’s orders. See Hawkins
v. City of Richmond, No. 3:16-cv-00216-REP (E.D. Va. Sept. 16,
2016). 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
