UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 16-1917 MICHELLE RIDDICK, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. KAISER PERMANENTE, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Henry E. Hudson, District Judge. (3:16-cv-00046-HEH) Submitted: October 13, 2016 Decided: October 17, 2016 Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michelle Riddick, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michelle Riddick appeals the district court’s order dismissing her civil complaint without prejudice for failure to effectuate service. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Riddick’s informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court’s disposition, Riddick has forfeited appellate review of the court’s order. See Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. 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. DISMISSED 2
