DAVID WILKINS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant - Appellee.
David Wilkins, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Stephanie A. Gallagher, District Judge. (1:18-cv-03632-SAG) Before WILKINSON, QUATTLEBAUM, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. David Wilkins, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
David Wilkins, on behalf of his minor son K.M.W., appeals the district court's order dismissing Wilkins' petition for review of the Social Security Administration's decision for lack of subject matter jurisdiction due to Wilkins' failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Wilkins' informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, he 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 order. 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
