JAMES ALLEN HILL, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. ERNEST LEE, Onslow County D.A.; JULIUS HAYES; CLARENCE PICKETT, JR.; ONSLOW COUNTY, Defendants - Appellees.

James Allen Hill, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:19-ct-03295-D) Before WILKINSON, KING, and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Allen Hill, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

James Allen Hill appeals the district court's order denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint and the court's order denying reconsideration. We confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hill's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's order dismissing his complaint, he has forfeited appellate review of that 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."). Further, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court's denial of reconsideration. Hill v. Lee, No. 5:19-ct-03295-D (E.D.N.C., Aug. 5, 2020). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's orders. 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
