SUSAN NEAL MATOUSEK, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CITY OF NORFOLK; NORFOLK POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendants - Appellees.

Susan Neal Matousek, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:18-cv-00609-RAJ-LRL) Before FLOYD and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Susan Neal Matousek, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Susan Neal Matousek appeals the district court's order dismissing her civil action for lack of jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Matousek's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, Matousek has forfeited appellate review of the court's 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."). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. We deny Matousek's motion for an en banc hearing in May 2019 and 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
