DEBBIE BENJAMIN, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; HOUSING SERVICE CENTER, Defendants - Appellees.

Debbie Benjamin, Appellant Pro Se.


UNPUBLISHED

Submitted: July 25, 2023

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Mark S. Davis, Chief District Judge. (2:22-cv-00100-MSD-DEM)

Debbie Benjamin, Appellant Pro Se.

Before WYNN and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Debbie Benjamin appeals the district court's order dismissing her civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal, we confine our review to the issues raised in the informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b). Because Benjamin's informal brief does not challenge the basis for the district court's disposition, she 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
