UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6827 MICHELET SAINT LOUIS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. MS. WOODSON, Head of Record Department; DR. TUASON, Psychiatrist; MAJOR BATEMAN, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, Senior District Judge. (2:19-cv-00437-RAJ-LRL) Submitted: November 22, 2022 Decided: November 29, 2022 Before HARRIS and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michelet Saint Louis, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michelet Saint Louis appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Saint Louis’ 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 deny Saint Louis’ motion to appoint counsel. 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
