UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-1006 ANTWYN HAYES, JR., Plaintiff - Appellant, v. CAESARS BALTIMORE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC; CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. George L. Russell, III, District Judge. (1:18-cv-02823-GLR) Submitted: May 21, 2020 Decided: May 26, 2020 Before AGEE and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Antwyn Hayes, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Jason A. Cabrera, Debra S. Friedman, COZEN O’CONNOR, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Antwyn Hayes, Jr., appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) motion and dismissing for failure to state a claim Hayes’ civil action in which he alleged that Defendants wrongfully terminated his employment. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Hayes’ 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 2
