Defendants - Appellees,

SERGEANT YEO; OFFICER BUCK; OFFICER LOCKLEAR; TINA BURKETT,
Defendants.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at
Raleigh. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (5:17-ct-03211-FL)
Submitted: March 18, 2021 Decided: March 23, 2021
Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit
Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Tracey Terrell Grady, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Tracey Terrell Grady appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants
summary judgment in Grady’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. On appeal, we confine our review
to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Grady’s 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 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
