United States v. Sean Dudley ( 2022 )

UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 21-7251
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
SEAN LAMONT DUDLEY, a/k/a John D. Brown,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina,
at Statesville. Kenneth D. Bell, District Judge. (5:97-cr-00001-KDB-1)
Submitted: January 20, 2022 Decided: January 25, 2022
Before WILKINSON, DIAZ, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Sean Lamont Dudley, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Sean Lamont Dudley appeals the district court’s order denying Dudley’s motion
challenging the conditions of his confinement under 18 U.S.C. § 4042(a)(2). On appeal,
we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).
Because Dudley’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 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
