UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-1439 PETER O. AGBRO; DEIDRA R. AGBRO, Plaintiffs - Appellants, v. AMERICAN PARTNERS BANK; CITIMORTGAGE, INC.; U. S. BANK, N.A., trustee for securitized trust; BANC OF AMERICA FUNDING 2006-6 TRUST; BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.; MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC. (MERS); DOES 1 THROUGH 100 INCLUSIVE, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. George Jarrod Hazel, District Judge. (8:19-cv-01606-GJH) Submitted: August 24, 2021 Decided: August 26, 2021 Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Peter O. Agbro, Deidra R. Agbro, Appellants Pro Se. Vanessa Destime, Edward Hutchinson Robbins, Jr., MILES & STOCKBRIDGE PC, Melissa O. Martinez, MCGUIREWOODS, LLP, Baltimore, Maryland; Matthew Daniel Cohen, BWW LAW GROUP, LLC, Rockville, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Peter O. Agbro and Deidra R. Agbro appeal the district court’s order dismissing their civil action for failure to state a claim. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because the Agbros’ informal brief does not challenge several dispositive bases for the district court’s disposition, they have forfeited appellate review of those findings. 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, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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 We have reviewed the issues raised in the Agbros’ informal brief and discern no reversible error based on those claims. * 2
