UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6824 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. GREGORY K. CLINTON, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Martinsburg. Gina M. Groh, District Judge. (3:17-cr-00005-GMG-RWT-1) Submitted: October 18, 2022 Decided: October 21, 2022 Before WYNN and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Gregory K. Clinton, Appellant Pro Se. David J. Perri, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Wheeling, West Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Gregory K. Clinton appeals the district court’s order denying, pursuant to a prior prefiling injunction, Clinton’s motion to correct his criminal judgment. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Clinton’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, although we grant Clinton’s motion to amend, 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
