UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6037 BRELAND E. BOONE, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. ERIN MOORE, Probation Officer District #3, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, Senior District Judge. (1:19-cv-00766-TSE-MSN) Submitted: May 19, 2022 Decided: May 24, 2022 Before MOTZ and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Breland E. Boone, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Breland E. Boone appeals the district court’s order denying as untimely his motion to extend the time to file a notice of appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5). On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Boone’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 2
