CYNTHIA B. WOODS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. S.C. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES; MONA SECHREST; MARSHA BROWN; KIM BACKMAN; DR. PETE LIGGETT; CHRISTIAN L. SOURA, Defendants - Appellees, and HOLLIE HOADWONIC, Defendant.

Cynthia B. Woods, Appellant Pro Se. Fred Adam Williams, GIGNILLIAT, SAVITZ & BETTIS, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Mary G. Lewis, District Judge. (3:18-cv-00834-MGL) Before FLOYD, THACKER, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Cynthia B. Woods, Appellant Pro Se. Fred Adam Williams, GIGNILLIAT, SAVITZ & BETTIS, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Cynthia B. Woods appeals the district court's order accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation to grant Defendants' motion to dismiss Woods' several employment-related claims. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant's brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because the informal brief does not challenge the bases for the district court's dispositive holdings, Woods has forfeited appellate review of the court's disposition. 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 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
